Actually, I'm sorry.
Mucuna contains L-dopa (levodopa) - can be used with escitalopram.
There is no interaction between these substances.
Thank you for your reply. However, it was about mucune, not manuke.
Best regards

Combining Escipram with betaine is not recommended - in extreme cases, it can cause an increase in serotonin levels and cause symptoms of serotonin syndrome - observed e.g. as agitation, muscle tremors, muscle clonic seizures, hyperthermia or gastrointestinal symptoms.
If your doctor told you to, you should follow the specialist's instructions.
Cocoa, manuka or blueberry extract do not affect the effect of Escipram. According to the data contained in the Safety Data Sheets for vinpocetine medicines, there is no interaction with escitalopram in Escipram. These measures can be combined.
Here you can check the availability of Escipram in pharmacies and make a reservation:
