This question is a bit hard to understand, but I'm aware that grapefruit has a number of interactions with other drugs. It affects diabetic drugs and many other common ones so it's worth checking for the interactions.

Why do doctors tell you to stop eating grapefruit with certain medications?

The human body uses many methods to eliminate waste and foreign compounds (kidneys, liver, saliva, others). Grapefruit is eliminated by an enzyme pathway in the liver that is also a common pathway for many drugs. Grapefruit in combination with these drugs can overwhelm the livers ability to filter the compounds, leading in slower drug elimination and therefore higher than desired blood levels.Speak with your doctor or pharmacist to determine if any drugs you use interact with grapefruit.A bit more:You should not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while taking Diazepam (Valium).
