A member asked:
Can 10mg celexa (citalopram) be taken with ranitidine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Ranitidine (like omeprazole) inhibits the liver enzyme 2c19 that Celexa (citalopram) requires for its metabolism. The combination could cause a build-up of Celexa (citalopram) in your system, exposing you to risks of serotonin syndrome and heart rhythm disturbances. I do not recommend using these two together.
