Can Citapram 20, Paxil And Escitalopram Oxalate Be Taken When Allergic To Citapram 40?
Question: if you are allergic to citapram 40mg could you be allergic tp citapram20,paxil and escitalopram oxalate 10mg
Brief Answer:
Most likely avoid
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If you are allergic to one salt you would most likely allergic to most doses of the salt (whether 10 mg or 20mg) and the variants of the salt (like escitalopram). Paxil is a different salt so you may not be allergic to it by default. You will have to test the dose against the salt.
Hence physicians most likely avoid it unless there is no alternative available.
Hope this answers.
