Question:
Does Lexapro Really Have The Cleanest Liver Metabolization Of All Anti-Depressants?
I found this online .....
"Lexapro has the cleanest cyp450 system (liver metabolization) of all AD's. Celexa was the cleanest before, only mild inhibitions in the 2d6 and 1a2...Lexapro has 0 (negligible) inhibitions in all the pathways..3a4,2d6,1a2,2c19,and 2c9
(In otherwords...it is nearly impossible to get a drug-to-drug interaction with Lexapro...which is good news for anybody on multiple meds.)"
Does anybody know if that is true?
Answers:
WOW!!! Now that made me feel old, Lexapro I thought at first it was some kind of big cat, but thanks for making use my head on this one.
Lexapro can be taken with most other medicines. Always tell your healthcare professional what medicines you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal remedies, diet supplements, etc. If you are taking monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors, such as Nardil® (phenelzine sulfate) and Parnate® (tranylcypromine sulfate), you should NOT take Lexapro. If you are not sure, ask your healthcare professional if you are taking an MAO inhibitor. You should also not take Lexapro if you are taking the antipsychotic medicine Orap® (pimozide).
