Grapefruit and Your Meds | Tampa News

Description

Grapefruit might be a juicy, healthy snack—but it can dangerously interfere with common meds like statins, antidepressants, and sedatives by blocking an enzyme that breaks them down, leading to toxic drug levels and serious side effects. Just one fruit or a small amount of juice can trigger this reaction, and the effects last up to three days. If you’re on medication, talk to your doctor before enjoying grapefruit or any grapefruit-containing drinks.
