Grapefruit juice is known to interact with various medications, but it does not significantly affect amoxicillin. Amoxicillin is not metabolized by the liver's cytochrome P450 enzymes, which are the primary targets of grapefruit juice interactions. Therefore, consuming grapefruit juice while taking amoxicillin is generally considered safe and should not impact the antibiotic's effectiveness. However, it's always best to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

Can grape fruit be taken when on amoxici?

I'm assuming you meant amoxicillin. Grapefruit juice contains a flavenoid that inhibits an important enzyme responsible for metabolizing drugs and toxins in your body, which is why grapefruit juice should be checked for interactions with medications. Amoxicillin is removed by a different enzyme than the one grapefruit interacts with, so you should be fine. But you should always check with your pharmacist for any and all suspected interactions.
