Does anyone know if it would be safe to take Clonazepam with a enzyme that has cellulase? I am trying to beat a candida infection and I know that the cellulase would help but I don't know if you can mix the two. I believe that Clonazepam has microcrystaline cellulose in it. Would the enzyme just metabolize the drug faster?

Thanks!

micro cellulose is a binder/excipient, used to hold the clonaz tablet together. i don't think there is any interaction. cellulose itself is not even absorbed by the body

does cellulose the part of the drug that makes it longer acting? Would the cellulase break that down and interfere with the time release part of the drug?

[pharmd06]

normal generic clonaz tablets are not time release. so this interaction would not occur. if you are really worried just separate taking them by 2 hr.
