Is taking rexipra and nizoral together recommended?
Patient: Hi, I am taking Rexipra 10mg daily at night for severe anxiety. Due to scalp infection and severe hair loss my dermatologist has prescribed me to take Nizoral 200mg once daily with meal. Can I take both the medicines or will I have some side effect with the same? Thank You, Deepa ( Age 42) Doctor: Hi,It is not safe to take these medications together. Taking rexipra together with nizoral can increase the risk of cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heart rhythm) which may be serious and potentially life-threatening. You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, or palpitations during treatment with these medications, whether together or alone.Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
