Stevia-Grapefruit extract question

[Guest guest]

More questions: What meds does the grapefruit seed extract interact with?

Ben is really only on Zantac and sinus meds. Just wondering if it is only

AEDs or other meds. If you know, please advise.

Anne,

We had problems with the benzodiazepines, the grapefruit extracts affect how

the meds are metabolised, usually raises their effectiveness. We were told

the opposite by a pharmacist, but either way was a problem for us.

was toxic at that stage, nearly tipped him over the edge.

My youngest used to be on a reflux med that was the same, think it was

prepulsid. Someone posted a whole list of affected meds a couple of months

ago, not sure were they accessed it from, but you should see it in the

archives,

I think I recall grapefruit being added as a caution

to my daughter's Tegretol bottle -- it's been a few

years, though. Can anyone confirm?--D

I was one of the people requesting a list the last time this was discussed

here and I saved the email - this list is pulled from that email: (tegretol

is on the list)

You may want to do

a websearch, but the list I have

is from Baptist

Hospital in Knoxville,

TN:

Norvasc

Lipitor

Buspar

Tegretol

Pletal

Anafranil

Sandimmune

Valium

Erythromycin

Plendil

Mevaco

Methadone

Versed

Cardene

Procardia

Nimotop

Sular

Seroquel

Quinidine

Invirase

Zoloft

Viagra

Zocor

Prograf

Halcion

It also states that

other fruits and fruit juices do not

cause the same

effects as grapefruit.

They also note that if you have

been using

grapefruit with

these meds, that you should NOT stop

either until you

have talked with

your doctor.

I also have another email saying that benzos are increased with the

diet There is stuff also about dilantin drug interactions if anyone

is interested they can check the archives for this or I can email it privately

if you want to read it.

Hope that helps

Just to clarify: this list came from me - some research I had done on a

college paper. This list applies to grapefruit pieces and juices. It

doesn't mention extract, so I'm not sure this applies. By now, I'm sure

all the drug companies are well aware of the interactions. Therefore, I

would call the manufacturer of the drug and ask them about the extract.

you are right...this doesnt include grapefrutiseed extract. this is the post

that I got from 'Nutribiotics...the company that manufacturers the one I

use with (and have never had any problems with)

(excellent stuff I might add)

Barb,Actually, the amount of the 2 compoundsin grapefruit that increase uptake of somemeds is so small, in both Nutribiotic andCitricidal, that it is insignificant. We cantruthfully say that there are no drugcontraindications that have ever surfaced in30 years of safe usage.Regards, -Sam /Nutriteamhttp://nutriteam.comhttp://steamdistiller.comhttp://nutriteam.com/weinproducts.htmNutriTeam is committed to your well-being!1 800 785-9791 9-5EST, M-F.-----Original Message-----From: martin Sent: Saturday, January 19, 2002 11:48 AMTo: support@...Subject: drug interactions???I am a long time consumer of Nutribiotics GSE. recently ithas come to myattention that there may be some interaction with Grapefruitandantiepileptic medications (valium, phenobarb tegritol)increasing them tohigher blood levels.I was wondering if the Citricidal has this same effect??thank youBarb @...
