Are Placida (flupenthixol/melitracen) and Placida Plus (etizolam/escitalopram) the same medication, and is it safe to take Placida Plus as a substitute for my prescribed Placida?
Placida and Placida Plus are actually very different. Placida contains flupenthixol and melitracen, while Placida Plus contains etizolam and escitalopram. Because they have entirely different active ingredients that work differently in your body, it is not safe to substitute one for the other. Doing so could cause unexpected side effects or affect your treatment. Please continue taking your prescribed Placida and speak with your doctor before making any changes.
