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.

    Once made how long can it be refrigerated for?

    • Elaine Guinan

      Hi Laura,
      It should keep for a couple of days in the fridge, however it will lose some of it’s nutrients in this time as some nutrients, such as vitamin C, are destroyed by oxygen in the air.
      Hope this helps!
