Hi Stu

The best thing you could do is either call your GP surgery or your local pharmacy. Both would be able to advise you quickly and accurately.

Take care

Hi Stu

It can cause rare cases of internal bleeding, paracetamol is fine.

Can we take aspirin or anadin with citalopram?

I dont know Poet, I have anadin at the mo but its the paracetamol one, you can buy paracetamol really cheaply unbranded. Best to ask a pharmacist, basically anything which directly effects the stomach shouldn't be used hence no ibuprofen.

Thanks. Reason I ask is cos I sometimes suffer migraine and only the most powerful painkillers will even remotely touch them. You might as well swallow sugar cubes than paracetamol if you get a migraine :)
