Question : Hello.
I started working out for 2 days after a long period of sedentary life
My gym coach suggested I take l-carnitina before working. I also take cipralex 10 mg/day. Do they interact in any way?

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM

I have gone through your query. There is drug interaction between cipralex and l carnitine. Thrombocytopenia , muscle weakness ,vision problems , hyperlipidaemia , nausea etc are reported while taking these two together. So better to avoid them together.

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
