Treatment for Hep C & Grapefruit Juice
I am going to start treatment shortly for HepC. I am wondering if I can continue to drink grapefruit juice or does it interfere with the drugs Interferon & Ribavirin?
Thanks

It actually can increase some drug levels because of inhibiting a liver metabolic enyzme. However neither interferon or ribavirin is metabolized by that particular enzyme(p450) so it is OK to drink your grapefruit juice. Stay Healthy! DTD
I heard that grapefruit juice was bad when taking certain drugs you should ask your Dr.
