Can you drink orange juice or tomato while taking Strattera?

Orange juice: Strattera (atomoxetine) is metabolized by the liver enzyme CYP2D6. Orange juice contains a compound called naringin, which can inhibit CYP2D6 activity. This means that drinking orange juice while taking Strattera can increase the levels of Strattera in your body and increase the risk of side effects. Therefore, it is generally recommended to avoid drinking orange juice while taking Strattera.

Tomato: Tomatoes contain a compound called lycopene, which is a powerful antioxidant. Lycopene has been shown to have several health benefits, including reducing the risk of heart disease and cancer. There is no evidence to suggest that lycopene interacts with Strattera. Therefore, you can drink tomato juice or eat tomatoes while taking Strattera.

However, it's always best to consult with your doctor or pharmacist before consuming any beverages or foods that may potentially interact with your medication.
