Drugs & Grapefruit: Interactions

from Today’s Gut Health Tip · host The Guud Company

I was talking about Statins the other day and mentioned interactions with grapefruit or grapefruit juice.  So I dug a little deeper for you... 31 drugs on this list that should never be taken when you are consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice are here https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/grapefruit-and-medications#1 and include some statins, pain medications, antibiotics and the like. Grapefruit affects the normal functions of the proteins in the liver that help to break down medications.  In fact, studies show that they increase the blood levels of over 85 medications.
