Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that there is a mild interaction between cipralex and propranolol.

Cipralex may increase slightly propranolol plasma levels.

For this reason it is important to reduce the dose of propranolol while taking cipralex.

Anyway, 900mg of cipralex is a toxic dose. Is there any error in spelling cipralex or on its dose?

I hope you will find this answer helpful!
