A member asked:
I take 40mg omeprazole in the morning daily, just prescribed 10mg escitalopram, are these 2 safe to take together?

Always inform Dr: It is ALWAYS important to advise or remind your Dr(s) of ALL other medications you take and conditions you have. There is increased risk of some serious escitalopram side effects that might require dose reduction, etc. Make it a habit. It's very important. Be safe. Be well.
