Why this happens
Bisoprolol is a beta-blocker used to manage heart rate and blood pressure, while rivaroxaban is an anticoagulant (blood thinner) used to prevent clots. They are processed by different pathways in the liver and kidneys, and their primary effects on the body do not overlap in a way that causes harm.

Can I take Sertraline and Fluoxetine together?
Taking sertraline and fluoxetine together significantly increases the risk of a rare but serious condition called serotonin syndrome. This happens because both medicines work by increasing the level of a chemical called serotonin in your brain. If levels get too high, it can cause symptoms like shivering, diarrhoea, confusion, severe muscle tightness, fever, and even seizures. Additionally, fluoxetine can slow down how your body breaks down sertraline, leading to a build-up of the drug in your system and increasing the risk of side effects.
