The answer is based on information provided. Exact advice is not possible without a proper examination and investigations. You are requested to consult your Doctor. Take care and keep us posted.
1131131 tn?1275108488 When taken with Prilosec, the clearance of citalopram may be reduced, leading to higher blood levels of citalopram. Prilosec inhibits the CYP450 2C19 enzyme, one of the two primary enzymes responsible for the metabolism of citalopram. Dosage adjustments may be needed due to this effect.
690060 tn?1247841741 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has new data showing that omeprazole (Prilosec/Prilosec OTC)—a medicine used to reduce stomach acid—reduces the anti-blood clotting effect of clopidogrel (Plavix) by almost half when these two medicines are taken by the same patient." "...Patients using clopidogrel should consult with their healthcare provider if they are currently taking or considering taking omeprazole, including Prilosec OTC" but then, there's also this: http://www.
Avatar n tn t seem to help her and our GI switched her to prilosec. My daughter has had no complaints with the prilosec. Both prevacid and prilosec have the same actions so they do the same things. The only interaction that I know of with prevacid and penicillin is with a type of penicillin called Ampicillin and it may inhibit the absorption of the prevacid.
Avatar n tn I take atenolol 100mg daily , and also citalopram ( an SSRI) 10mg daily, no problems whatsoever. Hope you feel better soon. I'm bias with citalopram because of all SSRI it is usually less likely to interact with other drugs and also has the least side effects profile, I feel like a new person since being on it.
1810386 tn?1405549577 Its great for sleeping with pain. But have to becareful with other meds. I had to stop taking it when tried citalopram and stuff like that. We aren't drs so best to call yours or ask pharmacist at cvs.

Avatar n tn Atorvastatin is supposed to be one of the two most effective statins in lowing cholesterol so you are on a good one. Bioavailability is how well a med is absorbed and used by the body and bioavailability varies among the statins. It's actually a desired thing. The liver is the target organ so if it is slowed down in the liver (where this happens), it's in the target organ. But honestly, that is hard for me to understand.
1451182 tn?1285107397 Yes I take citalopram and on the drug interaction list, you will see B vitamin supplements are a no no.
Avatar m tn In appropriate neurochemical, functional, and behavioural non-clinical experiments, escitalopram shows greater efficacy and faster onset of action than comparable doses of citalopram. The lower efficacy of citalopram in these studies is apparently due to the inhibition of the effect of the S-enantiomer by the R-enantiomer, possibly via an allosteric interaction with the serotonin transporter.
Avatar f tn It is safe for you to take citalopram with Imodium, there is no drug interaction between the two medications.
497348 tn?1283436066 I vaguely remember that my Omeprazole and Citalopram are not a common drug interaction, but a psychiatrist that I know and work with told me that it has been heard of when someone takes celexa and prilosec together that the prlosec can multiply the dose of celexa in the liver and instead of taking 10 mg its like taking 20... So once this panic attack happened it was almost like the diagnosis of Serotonin Syndrome, to know that for sure is merely impossible ,but a logical guess.
1210142 tn?1266077031 Actually there are studies showing zero interraction between Prilosec and Plavix also so it is very difficult to see what this is. Thank you though and please keep me posted.
Avatar m tn No interaction and they sound very necessary to help you with anxiety.
1556337 tn?1341708611 Wait and see if you continue to be sick. There are a ton of viruses going around and it is not uncommon to have foamy vomit. If you dont feel better in 24 hours or you develop other symptoms etc I would get checked out.
216046 tn?1193943404 You can take Lyrica with Methadone and be fine BUT you should not take the Lyrica within 4 hrs after the Methadone because of resp distress.
Avatar n tn Im on gabapentin,tramadol,diazepam.buprenorphine, citalopram,buscopan,mebeverine and omeprazole.what long term damage is that doin to my insides??
Avatar m tn Hi, I was on gabapentin and was on a PPI called Prilosec. If in doubt u should talk to ur Dr or pharmacist as they r better suited to inform u on drug interactions. They may inform u to take at diff times and what to avoid to help the meds aid u..... Did u develop the reflux once u started with the gabapentin or did u have it b4?
Avatar f tn I gained about 30 lbs on Citalopram. I work out and eat healthy. I just saw a new doctor and he believes the Citalopram is causing my weight gain. I have been on it for about 18 months. I am now taking half a pill of Citalopram in order to wean myself off of it. My doctor then prescribed me Bupropion HCL (take twice a day). He says that should help with weight loss. Has anyone had good experiences with Bupropion? Did you gain weight on Citalopram? Thanks!!!
Avatar n tn Everyone responds to the medicine differently. Often the ribavirin causes nausea for the first few weeks, but then fades. Make sure you take the ribavirin on a full stomach. I also use PPI's like prilosec, H2 blockers like Zantac and reglan(metoclopramide) which is much cheaper than Zofran.You can take them all together as well. The ribavirin also alters your taste for food and nothing tastes good either sometimes confusing the issue with nausea. Good luck!
Avatar f tn Hi again, i just wanted to let you know that before I joined this Forum I had left a message on the FDA's question line. They had not gotten back to me so I thought I'd never hear back. Today, however, I did hear back from them. I asked them about whether the meds. and supplements that I've been taking, and especially Verapamil, Zantac and Prilosec OTC could possibly cause an elevation in liver enzymes.
Avatar m tn 17, 2009 - The FDA today warned patients not to combine Plavix with Nexium, Prilosec, and nine other drugs -- including Prozac and Tagamet. The drugs may make the anti-clotting drug Plavix dangerously less effective, the FDA says. They block an enzyme in the body that turns the drug into its active form. Plavix is the second most-prescribed drug in the world.
Avatar m tn I was wondering if anyone else wakes up feeling sick to their stomach in the morning ? I have been finding myself lately waking up to nausea and stomach pains. It will last most of the day and dissipate in the evenings.
