HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There is no interaction between the antibiotic and the other medications mentioned.

There is an interaction between the butalbital and escitalopram. The butalbital can decrease the levels or action of the escitalopram by affecting the metabolism/breakdown.
This may not have a significant effect for you.

I hope this helps
