Can OTC Cold Medications Be Taken While On Citalopram?
Hi, I am a 25yr old female & I take 20mg of Citalopram every day, At the moment I have a cold and I m miserable with it I but need to keep going & be able to go to work. I want to know if I can take over the counter cold medications (from Brands like Benylin) containing phenylephrine and guaifenesin? Some answers online say I shouldn t and others say I can but it might make me more drowsy then usual? is this the only Issue. Thanks

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are no known interactions between phenyephrine, guaifenesin and citalopram.
This means that these medications can be used safely together.
You can use the cough mixture to help relieve some of your symptoms.
I hope this helps
