Notable studies[edit | edit source]
Possible causes[edit | edit source]
Respiratory depression may be caused by medications that act as respiratory depressants, a drug or other agent that diminishes normal breathing. Most respiratory depressants, such as alcohol and opioids, act by depressing the activity of the central nervous system.[1]
