A member asked:

I have been prescribed halcyion for a molar extraction. my mother who suffers from dementia has had adverse reaction to valium. should i be concerned?

Different medication: You need to discuss this family history with your physician. These are different medications and there is not any specific cross-reactivity. However this does show there is a genetic sensitivity that your physician must be aware of
