Due the presence of sibutramine and citalopram in a number of drugs, neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitors. Sibutramine reduces the reuptake of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine; citalopram is an antidepressant drug of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. The thin-layer chromatography-densitometric behavior of some centrally acting serotonin reuptake inhibitors has been studied. The...

The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors have a very favorable safety profile. However, because of the wide use of this drug group, even low-frequency adverse effects become more prevalent. This article reviews 5 of these relatively infrequent adverse medical effects associated with the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors: the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secreti...

BACKGROUND Few studies have assessed the risk of hip fracture following concurrent use of psychoactive medicines, and none has investigated combinations with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. OBJECTIVES To assess the risk of hip fracture in older people as a result of concurrent use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and other psychoactive medicines. METHODS A matched case-co...
