Medications which act on the central nervous system (brain & nerves) can also suppress the breathing centers of the brain stem. High narcotic doses are often responsibe for suppressing breathing and causing the patient to go into respiratory failure. If taking narcotics respiratory rates should be monitored as well as sauration of oxygen. If oversedated the antidote narcan can be given to reverse the effects.
