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 is in grapefruit that makes it interact with medicines?

Grapefruit contains compounds known as furanocoumarins, specifically bergamottin and dihydroxybergamottin, which inhibit the activity of an enzyme called CYP3A4 in the intestines. This enzyme is responsible for metabolizing many medications. When CYP3A4 is inhibited by grapefruit compounds, it can lead to higher levels of certain drugs in the bloodstream, potentially causing adverse effects or toxicity. It is important to be cautious of grapefruit-drug interactions and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.

How soon after eating grapefruit can you take medicine?

The first person who answered this question is an idiot. Grapefruit juice contains CYP3A4 inhibiting compound so yes, it does interact with various drugs, xanax being one of them. 3YP3A4 is the enzyme which metabolises xanax so drinking grapefruit juice with xanax potentiates the xanax because less of the xanax gets converted into inactive metabolites. Its not dangerous to take xanax with grapefruit juice at all, it just makes the xanax a little stronger so the obvious way to counteract that is to take less xanax. Heres a list of drugs that are metabolised by CYP3A4 (and thus potentiated by grapefruit juice): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CYP3A4#CYP3A4_ligands the substrates box contains the drugs metabolised by the enzyme. If you look in the inhibitors box, you'll see the compounds in grapefruit juice.
