Good evening ma'am,

Yes, you can take both medications at the same time!

And no, citalopram does not decrease the strength and effectiveness of tamoxifen. In fact, it's our first choice when we have to use a drug in the citalopram family.

Good evening,

Alexander

I worked as a pharmacist in the emergency department of the Granby Hospital for 6 years before dedicating myself to Ask your Pharmacist. I completed my education in telehealth at Jefferson University in Philadelphia and are recently completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Health Informatics at Université de Sherbrooke.
