A member asked:
I currently am taking citalopram (10mg) but need to know what cold medicines are safe to take? and is ibuprofen ok as well? thank you!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be cautious: Citalopram would interact with ibuprofen and most cold medicines combinations, kindly talk to your pharmacist or your prescriber , meanwhile, plain acetaminophen (tylenol) would be a good alternative, read the labels carefully and don't exceed recommended dosage and duration. Good that you asked, always exercise caution with multiple medications, good luck
