A member asked:
Going under anesthesia for colonoscopy. currently take 100mg fluvoxamine (luvox) any concerns with possibl drug interactions?

In this instance I would want clearance from the anesthesiologist as there is always a concern for the very dangerous serotonin syndrome when SSSR's like luvox interact with other medications. Your pharmacist can also shed light on this matter.

None that are apparent. Tell the anesthesia provider all your medication.
