Interaction Found

Taking citalopram and meloxicam together can increase your risk of bleeding. Citalopram affects how your blood clots, and meloxicam is a pain reliever that also affects bleeding. When used together, your bleeding risk is higher than using either drug alone.

What to do: Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about taking these medicines together. Do not stop either medication on your own. Your doctor may monitor you more closely or adjust your doses to keep you safe.
