![default](/r/images/default.png)
Question: Hi Doctor, I have a question regarding meds I'm prescribe. I take percoset for my prostate 2 times daily. I'm also prescribe .05 klonopin for panic attacks. I'm reading about the severe interactions. The pharmacy says it fine to take separate 6 hours apart. please let me know because I'm really confused.
Brief Answer:
Major interaction
Detailed Answer:
Dear sir,
I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but both medications have a major interaction together which can cause serious respiratory distress which could be fatal. Taking them 6 hours apart won’t eliminate all the risk as both medications can stay in your system up to 24 hours.
I hope you find this helpful. if you don’t have any other clarifications then please close the discussion..
