Description
Grapefruit juice and fresh grapefruit can interfere with the action of some prescription drugs, as well as a few non-prescription drugs. This interaction can be dangerous, says Shiew Mei Huang, acting director of the Food and Drug Administration's Office of Clinical Pharmacology. With most drugs that interact with grapefruit juice, "the juice increases the absorption of the drug into the bloodstream," she says. "When there is a higher concentration of a drug, you tend to have more adverse events."
