If your taking Lipitor can you eat meat that has been marinated with grapefruit juice?

Grapefruit juice can slow the breakdown of statin drugs in the liver, increasing the risk of drug side effects. But considering the small amount of grapefruit juice that would be left on the meat after marinating and cooking it, there shouldn't be enough to cause any problems. You can ask your pharmacist though, who will be able to give you a more definitive answer.
