Grape and Celecoxib, Tramadol

These two interact in 3 distinct ways. Each one is explained separately below.

Why Are There 3 Interactions?

Grape interacts with whole categories of medication. Celecoxib, Tramadol falls into 3 of those categories, so it can interact with Grape in 3 different ways. We’ve listed each one below — your overall risk is driven by the most serious of them (Moderate).

Moderate

CYTOCHROME P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) SUBSTRATES

1 of 3

Why this applies to Celecoxib, Tramadol

Celecoxib, Tramadol falls under CYTOCHROME P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) SUBSTRATES — the group Grape interacts with.

Theoretically, grape seed extract may increase the levels of CYP2D6 substrates.
In vitro evidence suggests that grape seed extract might inhibit CYP2D6 enzymes. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Seglentis combines two medicines, and the tramadol part is the one to think about here with grape seed extract. Tramadol relies on an enzyme called CYP2D6 to turn into its stronger pain-relieving form. Grape seed extract may slow that same enzyme down a little, at least in lab studies. In theory that could shift how much active pain relief you get, and it may also let tramadol itself build up slightly, which could mean more drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, or constipation.

Here's the honest part: this is only seen in test-tube research, not in real people, and eating grapes as food is very unlikely to matter. Concentrated grape seed supplements are the question mark. Before starting one alongside Seglentis, just run it by your pharmacist or doctor.

CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES

2 of 3

Celecoxib, Tramadol also falls under CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES.

It is unclear if grape seed extract inhibits or induces CYP3A4; research is conflicting.
In vitro evidence suggests that grape seed extract might inhibit CYP3A4 enzymes. However, evidence from animal research shows that grape seed extract may induce CYP3A4 in the liver. So far, these interactions have not been reported in humans.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Seglentis pairs celecoxib (an anti-inflammatory) with tramadol (a pain reliever), and both pass through a liver enzyme called CYP3A4. The tricky part here is that grape seed extract has pulled in mixed lab results: some test-tube studies suggest it might slow this enzyme down, while animal studies hint it could speed it up. We honestly don't have a clear answer yet, and nothing like this has actually been reported in real people.

One thing worth knowing: tramadol is partly a prodrug, so it needs your body's enzymes to turn it into its active pain-fighting form, which makes its direction extra hard to predict. Because the evidence is so weak, an occasional handful of grapes is no worry. Before starting a concentrated grape seed supplement, just check with your pharmacist or doctor.

CYTOCHROME P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) SUBSTRATES

3 of 3

Celecoxib, Tramadol also falls under CYTOCHROME P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) SUBSTRATES.

It is unclear if grape juice or grape seed extract inhibits CYP2C9; research is conflicting.
In vitro evidence shows that grape seed extract or grape juice might inhibit CYP2C9 enzymes. However, a small pharmacokinetic study in healthy adults shows that drinking 8 ounces of grape juice once does not affect the clearance of flurbiprofen, a probe-drug for CYP2C9 metabolism. The effects of continued grape juice consumption are unclear.
Severity Minor Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D

Interaction has been demonstrated in animal or in lab research but has been shown not to occur in humans..

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Seglentis pairs celecoxib with tramadol. The celecoxib part is handled in your liver by an enzyme called CYP2C9. There's a theory that concentrated grape products (like grape juice or grape seed extract) might slow that enzyme a little. If they did, celecoxib could build up slightly, which in theory might mean more of its usual side effects, such as stomach upset, fluid retention, or higher blood pressure.

Here's the reassuring part: the evidence for this is weak and conflicting, coming mostly from lab studies. One real-world test showed grape juice didn't change how a similar drug was cleared. Eating grapes as food almost certainly won't matter. If you're thinking about a daily grape seed supplement, just run it by your pharmacist first.
