Safety Tips

Trazodone can cause drowsiness, dizziness, orthostatic hypotension, and in rare cases, priapism.
It is metabolized by CYP3A4; strong inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole) can raise plasma levels.
Use caution in patients with a history of serotonin syndrome, severe cardiac disease, or those taking MAO inhibitors.

If you need a prescription, dosage guidance, or have questions about drug interactions, consult your prescribing physician or pharmacist.
