Answered by Dr. Baranidharan Kuselan (43 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Should be avoided

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I am Dr.Barani and I am pleased to assist you.

There are no reports of any serious interaction between Lunesta and Librax.
But a dose of 3 mg of Lunesta is high and should be avoided in elderly individuals.
Hence I would advise against taking 3 mg of Lunesta.

Regards,
Dr.Barani
