I will be taking Rexetin. I have a question: how is the drug in the case of taking anti-inflammatory tablets or antibiotics for eg flu? And how is it with combining alcohol, for example, if I went to a wedding and I would like to drink? If I take a break, let's say a week from taking the drug, is it possible?

Rexetin is an antidepressant. We use it constantly, not temporarily. At the very beginning, the first effects occur after about 2-3 weeks, but the total effect is only felt after about 6 weeks. Do not stop taking the drug yourself, also when it comes to sudden withdrawal before admission. By stopping the drug, we can expose ourselves to unpleasant side effects such as insomnia, nervousness, mood drop and others described in the leaflet as: "effect caused by sudden discontinuation of the drug". You can use an anti-inflammatory/analgesic medicine on an ad hoc basis. However, if you use such drugs chronically, it will be necessary to consult a doctor, because drugs such as Rexetin and e.g. Ibuprofen, Ketoprofen or Naproxen may increase the occurrence of gastrointestinal bleeding. Here, it is also important whether you have, for example, stomach ulcers and other diseases. Then anti-inflammatory drugs may be contraindicated. The safest painkiller is paracetamol in your case: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/101028/paracetamol-aurovitas-tabletki/apteki Antibiotics can be combined with Rexetin. However, the antibiotic does not work against the flu because antibiotics fight bacteria, and the flu is caused by a viral infection. As for the issue of alcohol. It will be much better to use the drug systematically as directed and drink two glasses of wine than to stop taking the drug a week before. If you take too much alcohol, you may experience faster alcohol intoxication or even alcohol poisoning the next day. Think about what is more important to you. Whether feeling good for a few months or one evening at a party.
