Patient picks for Drug interactions
Treatment and medication
Can I take Calcium and Ciprofloxacin together?
Taking calcium at the same time as ciprofloxacin can significantly reduce the amount of the antibiotic that gets into your bloodstream. This means the medicine may not work properly to clear your infection.
Treatment and medication
Can I take Dextromethorphan cough medicines and Sertraline together?
Taking these two medicines together can increase the risk of a rare but serious condition called 'serotonin syndrome'. This happens when there is too much of a chemical called serotonin in your brain. Symptoms can include feeling very agitated, confused, shaky, sweaty, or having a fast heartbeat and muscle twitches. Additionally, the cough medicine may make you feel more drowsy or dizzy than usual.
