Thank you for the warning. Fortunately I'm not taking any medications these days, but in case I do in the future, I'll keep in mind the interaction with grapefruits. > Here’s a brief and incomplete list of some of the medications that research indicates get screwed up by grapefruit: Benzodiazepines (Xanax, Klonopin, and Valium)
Amphetamines (Adderall and Ritalin)
Anti-anxiety SSRIs (Zoloft and Paxil)
Cholesterol-lowering statins (Lipitor and Crestor)
Erectile-dysfunction drugs (Cialis and Viagra)
Various over-the-counter meds (Tylenol, Allegra, and Prilosec)
And about a hundred others.
> In some of these cases, the grapefruit interaction is not a big deal, because they’re safe drugs and even having several times the normal dosage is not particularly dangerous. In other cases, it’s exceedingly dangerous.https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/grapefruit-history-and... |
