Sunnely - Out of curiosity, is the Prozac/codeine interaction clinically significant? more Many patients I have dealt with have had a traumatic incident (eg. car accident, fall a work, etc.) and subsequently have become depressed.
Docs in our area are fairly free with the Tylenol#3, but only use more potent anagesics short term (ie. at the time of the accident, and usually for 2 weeks afterward). If this interaction had any real effect on treatment, surely they would have listed it in the CPS (Canadian PDR) and is this interaction listed in the PDR.
Thanks for your time Sunnely - Cam
Also, do you know if the catalyst for the Prozac/codeine interaction in saturable. If it is, this could have clinical significance.
