What happens if you eat grapefruit while taking suboxone?

Eating grapefruit while taking Suboxone (a medication used to treat opioid addiction) can increase the levels of buprenorphine in the bloodstream. Grapefruit inhibits certain enzymes in the liver, specifically CYP3A4, which are responsible for metabolizing buprenorphine. This can lead to enhanced effects and potentially increase the risk of side effects or overdose. It’s important to consult with a healthcare provider about dietary restrictions when taking Suboxone.


What will happen if you are on citalopram and eat grapefruit?

I am on Depakote, Clonazepam (Klonopin),Concerta & Prilosec and was concerned about eating grapefruit while on these medications (as I've heard that there can be a negative response while taking some medications and grapefruit together)...~ I just called my pharmacist and listed all these medications for her, and she said that they are ALL FINEto take while eating grapefruit. YAY!~ She went on to say that mostly, there is a concern with taking cholesterol-lowering medications and eating grapefruit. ~ SO, if you are taking: DEPAKOTE, KLONOPIN (Clonazepam), Concerta, or Prilosec (Omeprazole), NO WORRIES! EAT YOUR GRAPEFRUIT & ENJOY!
