Additional Information
You shouldn't take Lexapro if you are taking any form of medication known as "nitrates" or drugs called "alpha-blockers", which are sometimes advised for prostate problems or high blood pressure. Combining Lexapro with alpha-blockers can drop your blood pressure to an negative level. If your doctor determines that sexual activity poses a health risk for you, you should never take Lexapro. Do not take Lexapro if you are allergic to it. Lexapro does not protect you from HIV (AIDS) or any other sexually transmitted diseases.
