I was very sternly warned not to eat grapefruit with the telaprevir (VX950) pills when I was in the Vertex prove 1 study. The study nurse said it increased absorption and would raise the serum concentration of the drug to unsafe levels. Seems like grapefruit does that with a lot of drugs, gotta be careful with it.
I had heard the same. The grapefruit binds to the same enzyme that your body uses to rid itself of the Zoloft. So you can get toxicity from too much left over Zoloft in your body.
As soon as I am done with tx and anti-d's I am going to plant a grapefruit tree tho!!
Yep. It's generic name is citalopram
Thanks again EV. Is Celexa available in generic?
