Can Escitil and Risspolept be used together? I've heard that these drugs have a serious interaction, but the psychiatrist assured me that I shouldn't have any symptoms because of it, but I'm still worried.

The combined use of these medicinal products (Escitil and Rispolept) may be therapeutically beneficial, but the patient should be closely monitored for adverse reactions during the use of the combination. In the case of such a combination, the action of serotonin is summed up. This can cause excessive increases in serotonin levels in the brain (especially in the elderly), which threatens the onset of serious disorders referred to as serotonin syndrome. Parallel use of Rispolept and Escitil may lead to the summation of the QT prolonging effect. There has been a case of an elderly patient who developed arrhythmias such as torsade de pointes. If you are not an elderly person, the probability of occurrence of the above side effects is low. However, it is worth being aware of what the effects of simultaneous use of these drugs may be, so that if they are observed, the patient can associate the symptoms with the fact of combining specific substances and report to the doctor.
