Recently, serious interactions
between grapefruit juice and
several prescription medica
tions, especially a particular
type of blood pressure medica
tion, have received a great deal
of attention from health care
professionals While the
research is limited for several
reasons, there is still a need to
pay attention to the information
that has been reported
One reason the research is
limited is because it has been
completed with mostly small
groups of healthy people (mean
ing those who don’t have any
medical problems, i e blood
pressure, infections, high choles
terol, etc ) and who are not on
any other medications In addi
tion, some of the reports are
individual cases, not large stud
ies. while other studies are not
double-blinded, meaning the
researchers and patients knew
whether or not they were drink
ing grapefruit juice or water.
Although what actually caus
es the interaction between
grapefruit juice and drugs is still
unknown, researchers believe it
may be one or more of the
flavonoids (plant chemicals) in
grapefruit juice It appears that

Food and Nutrition Notes
these flavonoids reduce the abil
ity of the body to break down
certain drugs at an appropriate
rate. This causes an increased
amount of the drug in your body
and may also cause the medica
tion to peak (the time when the
largest amount of the medica
tion appears in the bloodstream)
later than usual (See drug
interaction table at right.)
If you are currently taking a
medication that has an interac
tion with grapefruit juice, do not
drastically reduce your juice
intake Your body has adjusted
its rate to break down and clear
the drug based on your current
intake of grapefruit juice The
exception to the rule is if you’re
taking Seldane or Hismanal
Stop drinking grapefruit juice if
vou are on either of these med
ications One the other hand, if
you aren’t drinking grapefruit
juice with the medications listed
in the table, don’t start.
While all the studies used
grapefruit juice, the some recom
mendations would apply to fresh
or canned grapefruit. Remember,
each person’s body chemistry is
different and will react differ
ently to various rjuantaties of
grapefruit juice. How much is
too much differs for each person.
