Caffeine increases the metabolism.

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

Caffeine is a stimulating substance and is one of main ingredient of coffee. The substance is known to fasten up the metabolic processes. The coffee is used to increase the metabolism in a number of conditions. This is the reason the drug increases the metabolism of Klonopin and Keppra. Though no specific studies are available still the caffeine will increase the metabolism of Solian also. The drug will decrease the levels of Solian. So excess coffee should be avoided while on Solian.

Thanks, If you have more doubts please ask again. Take care

Dear Dr. Bishnoi,
Thank you for your answer, it's very clear, i guess it means that the clearance of Solian is probably faster with caffeine (even if there aren't studies available), am I right?
Thanks, XXXXXXX
