A member asked:

Is it ok to have a glass of red wine i am on atenelol 25mg 2x day and citalopram hbr 10mg?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Red wine: A SINGLE glass of red wine a day is part of the "Mediterranean Diet" which may actually be beneficial for you. However, it is recommended that alcohol be avoided with citalopram. But again a SINGLE glass of red wine a day is unlikely to get you into much trouble.
