A member asked:
Can any doc explain if water fasting complicates digestion of antidepressants?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What drugs you take?: It would be helpful to know what drugs concern you. Many drugs are broken down, converted, activated by first-pass metabolism through the liver. Some drugs and/or their byproducts are excreted by the kidneys. Toxicity to these respective organs is very specific to the drugs themselves, their doses, and their indications. Reconsider your "water fasting" please.
