Are There Any Negative Interactions Between Celexa And Ciprofloxacin?
Have been put on 200 MG Amiodarone twice a day while recovering from a cardio version. I have been on 20 MG of celexa for 25 years now. An EKG reveled that I have a Q T interval now and they stopped both the Amiodarone and the celex last week. I have an EKG follow up tomorrow. They claim I have a fib one time and a flutter the next ? My pharmacist said that I should not have been given the antibiotic CIPRO while taking celexa years ago as he said Celexa and many other drugs taken together are trouble in heart rhythms. Is this true ?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Citalopram oral and ciprofloxacin oral both increase causing a dangerous abnormal heart rhythm. Use of these drugs may cause heart beat changes so an ECG is recommended.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
