Got prescribed lexapro (escitalopram) last friday.doc said wait until monday(today) to let the st johns wort clear out of my system. was this enough time? three days
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Studies have shown: The half life of St. John's Wort is 24 to 48 hours. It takes about 5 half life's for a drug to be eliminated from your system which means it could be as much as 10 days for it to be completely out of your system!
