A member asked:
Does grapefruit oil, extract, spray, and mist interact with ssri antidepressants?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seems true: Many drugs (including Luvox) have accelerated absorption when grapefruit in any form is ingested. It is especially true for many anti-depressants - Celexa (citalopram) was thought to be different, but even that should be cleared w/ your provider.
