The practice of combining opioids and benzodiazepines has been recognized as both ubiquitous and substantial.[6] The extent to which the utilization of concurrent use of opioids and benzodiazepines and its clinical outcomes in Malaysia is unclear, but their co-prescribing presents a serious safety concern and is not well characterized.
