mesalamine enemas? Does cyproterone interact with any of these? I take the latter two for ulcerative colitis. I'm slightly concerned about prozac and 6-mp, especially the latter, since both are known to impair liver function in some patients, and 6-mp requires me to have liver enzyme tests once every 3 months. does anyone know about any potential interactions?

Cyproterone never interacted with Cymbalta (duloxetine) and that's Prozac's younger, smarter cousin. They are chemically similar, so I doubt there's any issue there. I have no idea regarding the 6-mp or mesalamine.

Lots of research and maybe a visit to your druggist, He/she may hold your answer also if your doctor is getting you a liver test every three months you should bring it up with him/her.

I remember needing to switch drugs because of a new one being added that reacted bad with others I took, you are right to be worried about this and your Doctor and Druggist should be on board with what you take.

Good luck and let us know,
