I can answer most questions on drugs, both medical and "recreational". Answers can be given in either technical or layperson terminology. My main areas of interest are psychiatric, gastrointestinal and cardiovascular drugs.
I have been a university lecturer/head of department for almost thirty years, but am now retired. My research interests were alcohol, smoking and cardiovascular disease.

Dear Floris Both ciprofloxacin and Leflox are closely related but not related to penicillin. Therefore, you can take either Leflox or ciprofloxacin for some infections without any allergy problems.
Dear Nate It is recommended that the pills should be taken as instructions ie 1 then 1 12 hours later. If both taken together vomiting is possible and some of the drug lost in the vomit. Even after
Dear Cherie This question is almost impossible to answer as it is not really known. There have been no reported interactions but with other antidepressants there has been some deaths, albeit rarely
Dear Cherie The reaction with phenelzine and Benadryl is not as serious as some interactions, however as Benadryl is cleared from the body relatively quickly their should be none left in your system
Dear Judy There are no reported interactions but there could possibly be a theoretical one with the hydroxytryptophan. If yopu take this and feel slight nausea, low grade fever I would not continue
