i’m pretty positive i shouldn’t drink the grapefruit that someone just gave me, since i take anti psychotics. no one ever told me before, though, i just happened to figure that out.
You shouldn’t consume grapefruit if you’re on certain prescription meds. There should be a statement to that effect somewhere on the med bottle, I would hope.
For example, I’m on a cholesterol lowering drug, simvastatin, and it states on the bottle: “Do not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice at any time while taking this medication.”
one of the doctors at the hospital in virginia told me not to drink grapefruit juice, i think i was prescribed risperdal there. and i love grapefruit juice, so it was a bummer. my current doctors here have never mentioned it, now that im on invega, but i havent had any grapefruit juice for 6 years because of what the doctor in virginia told me.
