Can you eat grapefruit while taking chlorthalidone?
I am on Depakote, Clonazepam (Klonopin),Concerta & Prilosec and was concerned about eating grapefruit while on these medications (as I've heard that there can be a negative response while taking some medications and grapefruit together)...~ I just called my pharmacist and listed all these medications for her, and she said that they are ALL FINEto take while eating grapefruit. YAY!~ She went on to say that mostly, there is a concern with taking cholesterol-lowering medications and eating grapefruit. ~ SO, if you are taking: DEPAKOTE, KLONOPIN (Clonazepam), Concerta, or Prilosec (Omeprazole), NO WORRIES! EAT YOUR GRAPEFRUIT & ENJOY!

What meds does grapefruit interact with?
Dextrometorphan should not be taken with Grapefruit as you will probably get hallucinations. Edit: If you are taking normal doses of dextrometorphan and you do not have a rare sensitivity to it (because of an enzyme in your liver, or lack thereof), then grapefruit will have no effect whatsoever. As a matter of fact the relation between eating grapefruit and the effectiveness of dextrometorphan has not been successfully demonstrated. The problem with grapefruit-drug interactions is that sulfur-compounds in grapefruit juice may affect the way many meds are metabolized in the liver. This involves many antihypertensive and cholesterol-lowering agents and should probably be avoided.
