And not just grapefruit, can be cranberry juice or other.

[miss marmelstein]

Absolutely! Until my hubby developed diabetes, I made ruby grapefruit juice every morning.

One I know of that isn’t listed is Methotrexate, which lowers the immune response.

Thanks, blam. My husband loves grapefruit juice but has give it up since he was diagnosed with type2 diabetes.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Thanks for the warning.

Fortunately, I hate grapefruit.

[Aliska]

Thank you for posting. One of mine is on there. I love grapefruit but haven’t had any for a long time. I will avoid them and those other citrus fruits.

“The bottom line
“Grapefruit interferes with proteins in the small intestine and liver that normally break down many medications.

“Eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice while taking these medications can lead to higher levels in your blood — and more side effects.

“With some drugs, with even small amounts of grapefruit can cause severe side effects. Therefore, the combination should be avoided.

“These drugs may be marked with a grapefruit interaction warning by your pharmacy.

“Make sure your doctor and pharmacist know if you regularly consume grapefruit. They can help you decide whether it’s safe to consume while on certain medications.”

Eat grapefruit. Skip the drugs.

[TBP]

I LOVE grapefruit.

[McGruff]

We’ve become a prescription nation. I wonder sometimes how many are actually needed.

[SkyDancer]

would this be the pure juice or the corn syrup sweetened junk juice cocktail you get at the stores/

[SkyDancer]

Pappy sez fiddle ... mix it with vodka and it’ll jazz up things.

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

Conversely, grapefruit juice can also reduce the quantity required of some drugs — and thus improve the efficacy, while reducing side effects. In some cases, that can be a big money-saver (less of an expensive drug required).

[ozaukeemom]

Crap! One of my meds in on there! I am going to ask my doctor about this.

[IamConservative]

I used to love a greyhound cocktail; vodka and grapefruit with just a wee bit of salt. Can’t have one anymore due to the Lipitor.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Bkmrk. Love Ruby Red.

[V K Lee]

this fruit is NOT to be eaten by those on warfarin (COUMADIN) as well. No Grapefruit, no cranberry sauce, no green leafy vegetables - ie. lettuce, broccoli
