Can I take Prozac and Sedoxil together?

Why this happens

Both medicines work by slowing down activity in the central nervous system (the brain). Prozac can also slow down the way your liver processes Sedoxil, which means the Sedoxil stays in your body longer and its effects become stronger.

What you should do

Use this combination with caution. Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how these medicines affect you. Avoid drinking alcohol, as this will make the sleepiness much worse. If you feel extremely sleepy or have trouble breathing, contact your doctor immediately.
