Which acid reflux meds?

Which acid reflux meds can you take with 20 mg of escitalopram.

I had an endoscopy and they said I need to take acid reflux meds so proscribed be omeprazole

I've since read that taking both meds isn't advised.

Thanks

I take both escitalopram/lexapro and omeprazole, its fine together.

Omeprazole slows the rate escitalopram is metabolised which increases its plasma levels a little. Your doctor will have taken that into consideration as will your pharmacist. SSRIs and PPIs are not a rare combination.
