Never take drugs with grapefruit juice. In fact, doctors advise against taking prescription drugs within three dayd of drinking grapefruit juice.

Whether it's fresh, frozen, or extra-pulpy, grapefruit juice
contains several compounds that affect the way your bodyabsorbs medication. When combined with a number of common meications, a single 8-ounce (236-ml) glass of juice can increase a drug's rate of absorption ans mkake it dangerously powerful. Adverse reactions range from serious to life-threatening, depending on the drug. So id you're ever medicated for anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, HIV, arrhythmia, infection, psychosis, or erectile dysfunction, stay clear of grapefruit juice.
