A member asked:
Can i take zofran for occasional nausea while taking the generic form of lexapro (escitalopram) (on 5mg now will end up at 10mg)?

Yes: No interaction of significance at this dose but tell your doctor you are having nausea. (Look for cause of this symptom) Lexapro (escitalopram) can occasionally cause nausea.

Best not to: Ondansetron (Zofran) and escitalopram (Lexapro) are best not taken together due to the risk of a dangerously abnormal heart rhythm in some people. For nausea, prochlorperazine (Compazine) is safer for people taking escitalopram because it does not interact with it in the same way, although prochlorperazine is more sedating and may interact with other medications being taken.
