Can you eat grapefruit while taking the mini pill?
I did a quick check of the literature and could not find any warnings about grapefruit and olmetec. However, I have read generally that grapefruit tends to make it so more of a medication get absorbed into your system than can be expected through the normal digestive process and hence the effects of the medication are strengthened which may not be a good thing. Double check with your doctor. Whatever they say should be good advice.
