“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.”

I’ve read grapefruit affects statins like Crestor and generics too.

So eating grapefruit makes your oxy high better? Maybe we should start handing out grapefruits to addict panhandlers.
