Hello,
thanks for using health care magic.
Ciparalex contains the active ingredient escitalopram which is in the
group of medications called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors
(SSRIs). It is used to treat depression, and generalized anxiety
disorder.
Like most psychiatric drugs, it has a wide range of drug interactions
including the following;
alcohol, tramadol, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs including
aspirin, paracetamol and naproxen, cimetidine, erythromycin,
fluconazole, imipramine, ketoconazole, lithium, MAO inhibitors
(e.g., selegiline, moclobemide, phenelzine, tranylcypromine),
tricyclic antidepressants, omeprazole, etc.
Prescription of drugs should be done by a doctor and you always
let the doctor to know that you are on ciparalex and depending on
your situation, he might adapt the way you will take both drugs or
allow you to take them.
Hope this helps you.
