    Medication interactions

    My friend had a brain heamoragge and started to have fits.

    She is taking Carbamazepine 200mg 2 in the morning, 3 at night
    then had added Levetiracetam 1000mg one twice a day
    aspirin 75 mg 2 daily
    diclofenac Diethylammonium gel 1.16% three times a day
    Ibandronic Acid 150mg one a month
    Citalopram hydrobromide 10 mg 1 a night
    Cetraben cream as directed
    diclofenac Sodium e/c tablets 50 mg one twice a day
    Lansoprazole capsules gastro resistant 15mg 1 a day
    Fluticasone Aqua Nasal Spray 50mcg

    can anyone tell me if there are any interactions with any of these medications.

    She is very tired all the time

    many thanks

    How soon after the haemorrhage was she given the aspirin, diclofenac and citalopram ? What is the reason for the diclofenac tabs and gel ? Several things stand out on this list, probably best if she speaks to her doctor and pharmacist.

    Hi the haemorrhage was 14 years ago and she started the fits after six months. She was put on the aspirin straight away and the fit meds after the first fit at 6 months, the levetiracetam was added about 3 years ago, she was suffering depression and put on anti depressants,she has been on three different ones, first prozac made her hyper, then lustral got bad bruises, then the citalopram which does suit her better, the diclofenac was approx 2 years ago for artihitis.

    She has asked her doctor and a pharmacist who say all these meds are ok, but as my firends memory is so bad I wanted to check and see if there are any interactions, to try to help her.

    Any help you can give me will be very much appreciated.

    This is a little complicated to answer on here.
    Most pharmacies now offer a free medicines use review - A sit down with a pharmacist in a private room for a few minutes.
    Tell her to enquire at her local pharmacy
