Are there anyone who use both of them? Is it safe to take both of them? Any experiences? Thanks for help.
I have been using paroxetine for my panic attack however I also want to use macrolides.Reactive Arthritis+ tachycardia+ prostatitis. 2015 till now. Just a short remission 4 months.
NAC, vit e, krill oil, vit b 1000 mcg daily, vit d 2000 iu daily and quercetin 500 mg twice a day.March 3, 2017 at 9:28 pm #458066PhilCParticipantHi,
There is a drug interaction between clarithromycin and paroxetine.
See: https://www.drugs.com/interactions-check.php?drug_list=685-0,1800-0
They recommend avoiding that combination. Possible alternatives are azithromycin and roxithromycin. According to the table on this page, azithromycin and roxithromycin are minor inhibitors of CYP450 3A4:

And according to the data on this page, roxithromycin is not an inhibitor of CYP450 3A4:

How can I look for a possible interaction between 2 drugs? and these are possible interactions not for everyone I mean. It can happen or not.
Did I get it right?

My bp is normal however I have had palpitations before rea because of the panick attacks.
Mostly it is racing.
So I am using tiny amounts of beta blocker and paroxetine given by my psychiatrist.I am thinking of azithro 2 in a week as I saw in a study.It’s duration is short also. I am on my own here no docs for AP. Only the support and ideas given by some people here. Docs only prescribe drugs and do the blood checking as long as I want.
Successful treatment of postvenereal reactive arthritis with synovectomy and 3 months’ azithromycin.
Thanks E
