You have been misinformed. You can have grapefruit or its juice when on the patch. It doesn't make a clinical difference in how the patch works.

yes in fact it can.

It would seem that grapefruit is moderately low in purines and therefore would not in itself play a large role in a gout attack.

However, things are not as they always seem with gout. Personal experience says that drinking Grapefruit Juice 16 oz's a day or more can actually bring on a gout attack. This result is repeatable with some gout sufferers, while others don't seem to be affected. When in doubt go lightly on the Grapefruit Juice.

Acids contained in fruit, by definition, are acidic and, therefore, can damage teeth. However most fruits contain vast supplies of vitamins and minerals and the damage to teeth can be prevented by simply brushing after meals.

yes

no

For 5 days straight I drank only Grapefruit juice and I lost 10 pounds. It really works......................................

Sprite does not have grapefruit juice. There is a grapefruit juice which has sprite in it. You can add sprite to nearly any drink to make a spritzer.

grapefruit can interact with birth control and certain antibiotics. so if you are sexually active and into grapefruits try a different contraceptive for a week after your last grapefruit

This question is a bit hard to understand, but I'm aware that grapefruit has a number of interactions with other drugs. It affects diabetic drugs and many other common ones so it's worth checking for the interactions.

why would you even think to mix those two? Are you crazy? The acids combine resulting in long term damage of the liver.

My wife is 8 months pregnant and she is just fine. Doctors recommend a lot of things that a pregnant woman should and should not eat, however they are only recommendations, and different doctors have different opinions.

Grapefruit does not interact with Benicar, but you should avoid alcohol and salt substitutes while taking the medication. Drinking alcohol also lowers your blood pressure, and when combined with Benicar, it may lower your blood pressure to dangerous levels.

Yes

No, it should not (especially if you are referring to the condom and not the oral contraceptive pill). This may be related to the CYP3A4 enzyme that is responsible for slowly breaking down many drugs and toxins in our body, with the OCP (oral contraceptive pill) being one of the affected drugs. This ensures that the drug levels (and of course toxin levels) do not stay in our bodies permanently. However grapefruit juice is an inhibitor of the enzyme, and as such it slows down the breakdown of the contraceptive in the body. By applying the double negative makes a positive rule, you'll understand that this would cause the effect of the drug to be "stronger" instead. However this does not mean that women should take less OCPs and more grapefruit juice if they want to prevent pregnancy, this "stronger" effect only happens in some drugs, but has yet to be proven in OCPs. St. John's Wort, which is available over the counter on the other hand is a CYP3A4 inducer, and that has the opposite effect in causing the OCP to be broken down faster, so it has been proven in some clinical trials that women on both should approach their doctor for advise on tailoring their OCP dosage, else be at higher risk of unexpected pregnancy

i'd probably say something like a courgette. mm delicious
