Why Is Zocor Recommended While On Prozac For Depression?
I want to know about Prozac and Zocor? Which is an inhibitor and which is an inducer and why would I stop the Prozac that a client is taking for depression that is taking Zocor? I am so glad that you are responding. What role does CYP450 and 3A4 play? I will not pay for this. I will continue to search.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Prozac is an enzyme inducer, and it causes metabolism of Zocor. That's why it should be avoided.
Hope you got your answer.
