Sintesi
Activated charcoal binds citalopram in the gut and reduces its absorption. With therapeutic dosing this could lower efficacy, whereas in overdose this effect is intentionally used to limit toxicity.
Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici
Charcoal and Citalopram can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.
Charcoal belongs to Gastrointestinal Tract; Citalopram belongs to Central Nervous System.
Perché avviene
Charcoal adsorbs citalopram in the gastrointestinal tract, reducing its absorption.
Cosa fare
Separate therapeutic citalopram doses from charcoal by at least 2 hours, ideally giving citalopram well before charcoal. In overdose, give charcoal as indicated and monitor ECG and for serotonin toxicity.
