No.
Tamiflu is an antiviral that makes it harder for the flu virus to spread within the body.
Antibiotics fight bacteria which would be useless on the flu which is a virus not a bacteria.

Can you take Paxil with theraflu?

Lexapro is an SSRI( Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor). Theraflu only interacts with medications known as MAOI's(Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor). Therefore, since SSRI's and MAOI's are two different types of medications, you may take the recommended dose of Theraflu along with a prescription dose of Lexapro.
