Alcohol use
No pharmacodynamic or pharmacokinetic interactions are expected between Cipralex and alcohol.
As with other psychotropic pharmaceutical products, combination with alcohol is not advisable. When co-administered with alcohol in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, volunteer study, Cipralex did not further impair performance compared with alcohol alone; paradoxically, it significantly improved performance in some tests.
