Question 10

can i take magnesium and paxil (paroxetine) together?

Accepted Answer

Yes: While there are many forms of magnesium, I checked for drug-drug interactions using magnesium oxide (http://www.drugs.com/interactions-check.php?drug_list=1516-0,1800-1156). You can do the same w/whichever form you're taking. Better yet, ask prescribing physician &amp; dispensing pharmacist. In other words, always tell your doctors everything you take, both prescription &amp; over-the-counter.
