Er du klar over at grapefrukt virker inn på et enzymsystem som er viktig for opptak av medisiner?

WARNING! - IF YOU DRINK GRAPEFRUIT JUICE AND TAKE MEDICATIONS READ THIS:
A cold glass of grapefruit juice is part of the morning routine for a lot of people. What you may not realize, however, is that this same juice might interact with drugs you are taking. The interaction between grapefruit and some medications was discovered by accident when researchers were looking for an interaction between a particular blood pressure medicine and alcohol. Grapefruit juice was used as a vehicle to mask the taste of the alcohol. While the alcohol did not affect the amount of the drug circulating in the body, the grapefruit juice greatly increased the levels of the medication.

Some medications which may be affected by grapefruit juice include: midazolam (Versed®), cyclosporin (Sandimmune®, Neoral®), lovastatin (Mevacor®), simvastatin (Zocor®), ®), pravastatin (Pravachol®), and Thyroid medications.

Hvis du spiser mye grapefrukt kan det kanskje føre til at du får økte nivåer av hormoner - jeg har sett at du har blitt hyper i det siste, kanskje grapefrukten bidrar?
