Unlike Calcium Channel Blockers, which effects get enhanced by grapefruit juice,
Beta Blockers (Tenormin) absorption from the gut decreases when taken with
grapefruit juice. Researchers have found that grapefruit (whole or juice) inhibits
certain enzymes in the intestinal mucosa responsible for Tenormin absorption.
Therefore it is advised to avoid consuming grapefruit few hours before and after
taking Tenormin to assure full absorption of the therapeutic dose of the drug by
the gut.
