Hello,

Prozac is having Pantoprazole. It is antacid drug. Trazodone is an antidepressant drug.

No need to worry about drug interactions between these two drugs. But better to take Prozac 20 minutes before food. Then take Trazodone 1-2 hours after food.

By this, you will get good absorption and effect of both the drugs.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Kaushal Bhavsar, Pulmonologist
