Grapefruit does interact with Valium. You should use caution when using these together. I recommend not taking Valium within 6-8 hours of eating or drinking grapefruit. The grapefruit can interfere with the way your body metabolizes and uses Valium.
Avoid eating grapefruit while taking Atenolol.
Does grapefruit cause blood to get thinner?
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.
Eating grapefruit can provide benefits such as being a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, aiding in weight loss, improving heart health, and boosting the immune system.
Dextrometorphan should not be taken with Grapefruit as you will probably get hallucinations. Edit: If you are taking normal doses of dextrometorphan and you do not have a rare sensitivity to it (because of an enzyme in your liver, or lack thereof), then grapefruit will have no effect whatsoever. As a matter of fact the relation between eating grapefruit and the effectiveness of dextrometorphan has not been successfully demonstrated. The problem with grapefruit-drug interactions is that sulfur-compounds in grapefruit juice may affect the way many meds are metabolized in the liver. This involves many antihypertensive and cholesterol-lowering agents and should probably be avoided.
side affects from eating grapefruit and taken labetalol
Ya noob.
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!

Eating grapefruit can provide benefits such as boosting immunity, aiding in weight loss, improving heart health, and reducing the risk of chronic diseases due to its high vitamin C and fiber content.
Studies up to now show that the juice and the fruit have both a significant interaction with some drugs (including lipitor).
