A member asked:

Is vitamin c capsule safe while on fluoxetine?, i have the flu, but don't want to use vitamin c seen that i'm on fluoxetine, should i take it, or not

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No problem: Vitamin C should not interact negatively with fluoxetine. The better question is why are you taking Vitamin C? There are very few persons on a normal diet in the USA requiring vitamin supplements. Good luck.
