Citalopram and amoxicillin

[Krasykat]

Can’t find an answer online. Does any one know if it is safe to take 40mg citalopram with amoxicillin antibiotic? Have a chest infection and the anxiety of the potential interaction is only making me worse!! Help

Hi Krasykat, no better person to call and get a quick answer than your pharmacist. xx

Hi Krasykat, I’m a pharmacy technician and can assure you there is no interaction between these two medications, if ever in any doubt your local pharmacy team should be able to advise you, I hope you feel better soon!

Psych grad...I only started my citalopram 40mg 3days. I was on 20 originally then it got increased. Could the amoxicillin cause anxiety or is it likely to just be the citalopram causing anxiety as I know it can do that before the anxiety etc settles. I’m worried about the amoxicillin being the reason my anxiety is bad.

If u didn’t realise I have health anxiety 😁
