If you take amlodipine -- or any other kind of calcium channel blocker -- do not take them with grapefruit, grapefruit juice or grapefruit dietary supplements, because serious, possibly fatal, reactions may occur. Grapefruit inhibits your CYP34A enzyme, a protein that helps your body metabolize drugs. When your body fails to properly metabolize drugs, you may end up with more of amlodipine in your system than intended, causing an accidental overdose. Some drugs -- and some people -- react more strongly than others to the effect of grapefruit on your CYP34A enzyme.

The human body uses many methods to eliminate waste and foreign compounds (kidneys, liver, saliva, others). Grapefruit is eliminated by an enzyme pathway in the liver that is also a common pathway for many drugs. Grapefruit in combination with these drugs can overwhelm the livers ability to filter the compounds, leading in slower drug elimination and therefore higher than desired blood levels.Speak with your doctor or pharmacist to determine if any drugs you use interact with grapefruit.A bit more:You should not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while taking Diazepam (Valium).
