Unlike Calcium Channel Blockers, which effects get enhanced by grapefruit juice, Beta Blockers (Tenormin) absorption from the gut decreases when taken with grapefruit juice.

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.

This is is 2 fruit servings. So cut it in half, keep it for the next day in plastic wrap.

if the whole of society was taking it, i'd say pretty badly.
Strictly speaking, the very first bite will interfere. As for the amount you have to eat before the level of interference reaches a point where the medication fails, well, that depends on a whole lot of factors. Play it safe and boycott grapefruit during the middle of your cycle.
