Omeprazole inhibits CYP2C19 and increases citalopram exposure, which raises the risk of dose-related QT prolongation. Labeling limits the citalopram dose when used with CYP2C19 inhibitors.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Citalopram and Omeprazole can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.

Citalopram belongs to Central Nervous System; Omeprazole belongs to Gastrointestinal Tract.

Livello di evidenza: High

Perché avviene

Omeprazole inhibits CYP2C19-mediated metabolism of citalopram.
