Interaction with other medications
It is important to be aware of potential interactions between fluoxetine and other medications. Fluoxetine may interact with certain drugs such as MAO inhibitors, SSRIs, NSAIDs, and anticoagulants. These interactions can lead to adverse effects or reduce the effectiveness of either medication.
MAO inhibitors: Combining fluoxetine with MAO inhibitors can cause a dangerous spike in blood pressure, leading to a condition known as serotonin syndrome. It is crucial to avoid concurrent use of these two types of medications.
SSRIs: Taking multiple SSRIs together can increase the risk of serotonin syndrome. It is important to consult a healthcare provider before combining fluoxetine with other antidepressants.
NSAIDs: Fluoxetine can interfere with the blood-thinning effects of NSAIDs, leading to an increased risk of bleeding. Patients should be cautious when using these medications together and monitor for signs of bleeding.
Anticoagulants: Similar to NSAIDs, fluoxetine can potentiate the effects of anticoagulants, increasing the risk of bleeding. Close monitoring of the INR levels is recommended when using these medications in combination.
Before starting fluoxetine, inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are currently taking to avoid potential interactions. It is essential to follow your healthcare provider’s recommendations and notify them of any changes in your medication regimen.
