Drinking grapefruit juice while undergoing chemotherapy can interfere with the metabolism of certain chemotherapy drugs. Grapefruit contains compounds that inhibit enzymes in the liver and intestines, leading to increased levels of these drugs in the bloodstream, which may enhance their effects and side effects. This can potentially lead to toxicity or reduced efficacy of the treatment. It's essential to consult with your healthcare provider before consuming grapefruit juice during chemotherapy.
