While these substances contained in grapefruit bring benefits to people, they also bring some negative effects to us, because they can affect the action of CYP4503A4, a drug metabolizing enzyme in the liver, which can then cause a series of drug metabolism disorders and even amplify the toxic side effects of drugs. If you eat too much grapefruit at one time, it will not only damage the liver, but also cause other adverse reactions, and even poisoning, including dizziness, nausea, palpitations, tachycardia, fatigue, low blood pressure and other symptoms. It is particularly dangerous to eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while taking the anti-allergic drug terfenadine, which can cause arrhythmia, and in severe cases, it can cause cardiac fibrillation and even sudden death.

There are many drugs that can interact with grapefruit, such as statins, such as lovastatin, Xuezhikang, Zocor, Lipitor; calcium antagonists, such as nitrothionine, nimodipine, nisoldipine, felodipine; diazepam, such as sulopenia, galactopyrin; antihistamines, such as terfenadine; immunosuppressants, such as cyclosporine; caffeine, birth control pills and other central nervous system stimulants, etc. Grapefruit can enhance or invalidate the effects of the above drugs. Therefore, do not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice when taking the above drugs, especially for elderly patients. I hope it will be helpful to you.
