Should I be worried?

I just consumed about 3 glasses of grapefruit juice, completely forgetting about the possible interactions it has with APs. Does it lower the concentration in the blood?

Any help would be great, kinda freaking out right now.

Grapefruit juice can raise the levels of certain psychotropic medications including APs.
I would try to get in touch with your doctor or at least a pharmacist.
If you start feeling sick don’t hesitate and go to the ER.

Grapefruit juice makes some meds accumulate i heard.

I spoke with my pharmacist and they said it’s safe to have a glass per day. It does make the AP build up in your system though.

You had 3 glasses, what did he say?
I wouldn’t make a habit out of it.

She said the only problem is that the side effects of the meds would be increased if more than one glass per day is consumed. Other than that, everything else was fine. She stated if consumed in large amounts on a daily basis, both good effects and bad effects would be increased.
