What anti-inflammatory medication can I take if I am taking sertraline 75mg? I fell down the stairs and hurt my lower back. Thank you

Hello ma'am, I'm sorry to read about your troubles!

Anti-inflammatory drugs are generally to be avoided with sertraline. If they are taken together, the situation must be properly evaluated to minimize the risks. I strongly recommend that you discuss this problem with your pharmacist, who can customize a plan with you and follow up closely with you.

In the meantime, taking Tylenol and applying ice in a wet towel for 10 to 15 minutes at a time can help relieve the pain.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
