To @Monika:

There are no contraindications to the simultaneous use of both drugs, but if they have been prescribed by two different doctors, it is worth consulting their combined use with a specialist, it may be necessary to modify their dosage. If the same doctor or different doctors who know about other medicines you are taking have prescribed medicines, follow their recommendations. What is worth noting is that the simultaneous use of both drugs is associated with a higher risk of QT prolongation. Persistent QT prolongation may in turn increase the risk of malignant cardiac arrhythmias. Cital has been seen with an unknown frequency and with Fluanxol rarely (≥ 1/10000 to < 1/1000 pacjentów). Działania niepożądane leków mogą wystąpić, ale nie muszą. Proszę pamiętać, że nie muszą koniecznie wystąpić w Pani przypadku.

No, it is not. According to the leaflet or SmPC, the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders usually starts with a dose of 20 mg per day. So it is not too high or too low a dose. There is no need to worry, please follow your doctor's recommendations.

Hello, is the dose of Cital 20 mg not too high for the beginning of treatment?

Yes, this is the correct and correct dose of Cital (citalopram). According to the drug documentation, in the treatment of depression: "Citalopram should be administered in a single oral dose of 20 mg once a day. Depending on the patient's individual response to treatment, the dose may be increased to a maximum of 40 mg per day."

I enclose the leaflet of the drug and helpful materials:
