Question : Hello. I feel like my doctor prescribed me medications that, when i looked up their drug interactions, should not be taken together. I was prescribed Lexapro, Nexium, Trazadone, and Hydroxyine Pam. I just want a more professional opinion on whether or not I should continue taking these together. XXXX

Brief Answer: YOU CAN HAVE THEM WITH TIME GAP Detailed Answer: Hello XXXXXXX Welcome to Healthcare Magic, I can understand your concern. But dont think that every interaction mentioned on the web going to occur in your body. Your doctor would have prescribed the above mentioned drugs with a definite time gap between each medication, take an example you have been prescribed Nexium for acid reflux ...that should be taken on empty stomach first thing in the morning , remaining medications have seperate time gap and have seperate interval also. so no need to worry, you follow your physician prescription carefully. regards, DR.VENKAT
