> Scott, does it mean it would increase the effect of the drug or decrease it?
Grapefruit juice will cause the blood levels of certain drugs to increase. It is important to understand that these drugs are not made more effective or less effective. There is simply more of it flowing through the blood stream because less of it is being metabolized and eliminated.
Grapefruit juice will cause the blood levels of Luvox to increase unpredictably. It will not make Luvox work any better. In order to best manage the dosage of Luvox, it is better to not consume grapefruit.
