Mammo you tool, it's best not to post if you do not know what you are talking about, grapefruit can increase the potency and duration of many medications by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for breaking the active ingredient down, Brianchia I would suggest you do some goggling and don't leave your health concerns to some stranger who does not know what they are talking about.

Grapefruit and it's juice sometimes keep medications from being absorbed, just don't take your medication real close to eating grapefruit of drinking the juice.  That's the only problem there may be with it.  You're smart to question this!
