Hello,

There are some interactions between the medications, most can be monitored, one is potentially serious.

Alprazolam and hydrocodone drugs increase the strength of each other, they work together and can cause significant sedation and in some persons, affect breathing- slow it down.

Amiodarone drug increases the effect of Carvedilol drug by affecting its breakdown. Amiodarone also increases the effect of hydrocodone by affecting its breakdown in the liver.

Diltiazem drug increases the level and effect of alprazolam and amiodarone. These are some of the interactions that may occur.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
