Grapefruit

[ijregner]

I bought a product sold as a red navel orange. When I ate it, it tasted much like grapefruit. Is there anything that I can do to counteract the interaction with propafenone.

Ignore it an carry on. Nothing bad will happen.

Thanks, you know how the internet overstates possibilities. I find this site a better resource. If required, my doctor. Appreciate you.

You'll know by now! Apparently grapefruit alters the metabolism of various drugs making them more or less effective. I have read that it is not only grapefruit bit some other citrus frits, too, so do check the Wikipedia page on this for some science and advice.

It seems like all of my medication’s warned me to not have grapefruit products. I’m not a big fan anyway so I just do it
