Interaction between grapefruit juice and praziquantel in humans.
نویسندگان
چکیده
After a single oral dose of praziquantel with 250 ml of grapefruit juice, the area under the concentration-time curve and the maximum concentration in plasma of praziquantel (Cmax) were significantly increased (Cmax for water treatment, 637.71 +/- 128.5 ng/ml; and Cmax for grapefruit juice treatment, 1,037.65 +/- 305.7 ng/ml, P < 0.05). No statistically significant differences were found in the time to maximum concentration of drug in plasma or elimination half-life.

Effect of oral co-administration of frozen-dried grapefruit juice on pharmacokinetics of tramadol in dogs
Tramadol is a centrally acting analgesic drug extensively metabolized in animal species. Its clinicalresponse is mainly due to the M1 metabolite, poorly produced in dogs. Grapefruit-juice can inhibit themetabolism of different drugs in animals and humans. The aim of the present study was to evaluate thepharmacokinetics of tramadol and its major metabolites after co-administration of tramadol an...
متن کاملGrapefruit juice-drug interactions.
The novel finding that grapefruit juice can markedly augment oral drug bioavailability was based on an unexpected observation from an interaction study between the dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonist, felodipine, and ethanol in which grapefruit juice was used to mask the taste of the ethanol. Subsequent investigations showed that grapefruit juice acted by reducing presystemic felodipine ...
متن کاملFruit juice inhibition of uptake transport: a new type of food-drug interaction.
A new type of interaction in which fruit juices diminish oral drug bioavailability through inhibition of uptake transport is the focus of this review. The discovery was based on an opposite to anticipated finding when assessing the possibility of grapefruit juice increasing oral fexofenadine bioavailability in humans through inhibition of intestinal MDR1-mediated efflux transport. In follow-up ...
متن کاملGrapefruit juice and drug interactions. Exploring mechanisms of this interaction and potential toxicity for certain drugs.
Concomitant administration of grapefruit juice can increase the plasma concentration of numerous drugs in humans and decrease the concentration of a few others. Such elevations of drug plasma concentrations have, on occasion, resulted in adverse clinical effects. Increased concentrations are primarily mediated by chemicals in grapefruit juice, which inhibit the CYP 3A4 drug-metabolizing enzyme ...
متن کاملAn overview of interactions between grapefruit juice and drugs
Because grapefruit contains fibre, vitamin C, antioxidants and phytochemicals, the fruit and its juice are consumed widely to help meet daily nutritional requirements. However, in the past 15 years, studies have shown that grapefruit juice can induce a several-fold increase in the plasma levels of particular drugs that can result in increased therapeutic or even toxic effects. The effect seems ...
