A member asked:
Could celexa (citalopram) interact with birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No interaction: Citalopram is an antidepressant in a group of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Citalopram is used to treat depression. Escitalopram (=Celexa) and birth control pills have no known interactions -and no known way they could interact at least according to a very large medicine -interaction data base and the manufacturer's data. On the other hand a lot of other medications may affect birth control pills, for example some antiepileptics like carbamazepine (Tegretol) and phenytoin (Dilantin), so Lamictal is by far not the only one.
