The length of medicines that you shouldn't take with any citrus-based drink, but especially grapefruit juice are fairly numerous.

Sorry, but your statement is absolute hogwash.

If they tell you not to take grapefruit juice with your medication, all it tells you about the medicine is that it is metabolized in the liver by the same CYP enzyme that grapefruit juice inhibits.

This in no way reflects the overall toxicity, unpredictability, or danger of taking the drug.
