Can Monster Energy Drinks Be Consumed While On Vyvance And Cipralex?
Question: My daughter takes 54 mg of vyvance as well as ciprolex for depression 20mg . She likes monster drinks and I taking two per day . Is it possible this could have a drug interaction.
Brief Answer:
No but amount should be limited
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
Although the use is monster drinks is safe with vyvanse but the dose should be limited. A standard can contains 16 Oz and it is important to keep below 32 Oz or two cans a day.
This is important because it contains about 10 mg of caffeine per oz and use of caffeine beyond 300 mg can have deleterious effects on her health.
I must assure you that it is due to Vyvanse but excessive use of caffeine may counter the effects of vyvanse leading to development of requirement for higher dose.
To conclude it can be stated that it does not lead to drug interaction at current dose but further increase in amount of energy drinks should be avoided.
I hope this answers you.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
