Can you drink orange juice while on keppra?

It is generally recommended to avoid drinking grapefruit juice while taking Keppra (levetiracetam), as grapefruit juice can increase the levels of Keppra in your body and potentially lead to side effects. Grapefruit contains chemical compounds called furanocoumarins, which can inhibit certain enzymes in the body that are responsible for metabolizing (breaking down) drugs, including Keppra. This can cause an increased concentration of Keppra in the body, which may increase the risk of side effects.

Orange juice does not contain significant amounts of furanocoumarins, so it is generally considered safe to drink while taking Keppra. However, it is still important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding your medication, and to consult with your doctor or pharmacist if you have any concerns about taking Keppra with any specific foods or beverages.
