A member asked:
If i take lexapro, (escitalopram) can i have any cold medicine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally yes: It all depends upon what other medications you may be taking and what other medical problems you may have. Also many "cold" medications have anti-histamines in them many are sedating and should be avoided during the day.
