I remember reading an article about this ages ago, something about juice effecting concentrations of the medication. It usually says on med leaflets to be taken with water. Saying that I take most of my meds with Ribena :D I only take Theophylline with water.

It is a know fact that Grapefruit can interact and affect the absorbtion rate of some heart medications. It is contraindicated on some of the leaflets.

I am curious about anything that affects the absorbtion rate of Theophyllines.
