How might caffeine compromise the use of certain antidepressant drugs used for the treatment of anxiety.
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Consuming large amounts of caffeine can cause anxiousness. Certain antidepressant drugs use the same liver enzymes as caffeine for biotransformation. In this case, more time will be needed to convert caffeine and the antidepressant drug into metabolites. Subsequent administrations of caffeine and the antidepressant drug will add to these effects, leading to anxiousness from caffeine, compromising the efficacy of the antidepressant drug for anxiety. Moreover, adverse effects from the antidepressant drug also become more likely to occur.
