Can I take 7.5mg and Quviviq together?

Why this happens

Both medicines are 'CNS depressants', meaning they slow down the activity of your brain and nervous system. Because they work in different ways to promote sleep, taking them together creates an additive effect that is much stronger than taking either one alone.

You should not take these two medicines together unless specifically instructed and monitored by your doctor. If you have taken both, do not drive, operate machinery, or perform tasks that require alertness the following day. If you experience extreme difficulty waking up or slowed breathing, seek medical help immediately.
