Antibiotics and Citalopram Tablets ? Is that a not dangerous mixture?
I am currently on 10mg of Citalopram, and have to take Antibiotics for an infection as advise by my dentist. Is that a safe mix?
i think its ok, as long as it doenst read out anything about mixing on the leaflet that come with the tablets.
Ive been on antibiotics one and the same time as Citalopram and have been fine :)
I just looked this up in my MIMS (the yellowpages of drugs that doctors get) and it say that macrolide antibiotics can interact with it. I don't know what they are, but you an google it and find out if the one are on is a macrolide antibiotic. It is only this specific type of antibiotic i.e. contraindicated.
Also St Johns Wort can interact with citalopram.
My mature, sensible GP just prescribed both to me today, so I have a sneaking suspicion that the combo should be okay!
I would for sure check with your doctors surgery as there could be conflict near Citalopram and an antibiotic. What does it say on the leaflet that come with your medication. it's fine, my partner is on Citalopram and has taken antibiotics plenty of times near no side effects.
Answers: Firstly we have to find out which antibiotics you are truly taking. but it sounds very likely that your dentist would donate you Amoxycillin or similar penicillin derivative for three times daily with or minus food. Shouldn't be a problem to combine those two together.
Yes, it is perfectly safe. I own used both together in the past next to my GP's approval. My mature, sensible GP just prescribed both to me today, so I have a sneaking suspicion that the combo should be okay!
