@drjaleelmohammed: Grapefruit can dangerously interfere with psychiatric medications by blocking the enzyme CYP3A4 in the liver, which normally helps break down these drugs. This leads to higher drug levels in the bloodstream, potentially causing serious side effects. Antidepressants like sertraline (Zoloft), antipsychotics like quetiapine (Seroquel) and lurasidone (Latuda), and mood stabilizers like carbamazepine (Tegretol) are particularly affected. Side effects may include increased drowsiness, dizziness, heart arrhythmias, or even toxic conditions like serotonin syndrome. Patients on these medications should avoid grapefruit and similar citrus fruits to prevent potentially dangerous drug interactions. Always consult your doctor. #grapefruit #medication #MentalHealth #psychiatry #psychiatrist

Can these enzyme inhibitors from grapefruit be found in other foods and drinks or is it always just grapefruit?

How long before or after you take medications should one wait to eat grapefruit? Or do you need to avoid period?

my question is can Grapefruit flavouring cause these issues too? I usually try to steer clear of it due to my meds but I accidentally bought Grapefruit flavoured sprite and now I'm too scared to drink
