Hello,

Hydroxyzine (Iterax) taken together with citalopram may cause some changes in the heart electric waves and may increase the risk for rhythm problems (torsades de point) which may be serious.
It is recommended to use alternative drugs that do not have such interaction.

I hope this answers your query and is helpful to you. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.

Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General and Family Physician
