Ann's Tips and Tricks
Eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice can cause serious interactions with certain drugs, including statins like Lipitor and Zocor, and many antidepressant and immunosuppressant meds. The list of drugs that interact with grapefruit is long, so if you’re taking a lot of different medications, it’s best to check with your doctor to see if it’s OK for any form of grapefruit to be on your menu.
