When I started Carbimazole and again when I started levothyroxine I asked the pharmacist if it was ok to take grapefruit - I have half a pink grapefruit every day - he checked and said there was no problem. I know it interferes with statins, that, together with agonising leg pains was why I stopped taking statins after two weeks. I just couldn't do without my grapefruit.

Sorry I can't help you with an answer but don't ever feel you are asking a 'silly' question. One of my often used phrases is 'I know this may seem a silly question but I don't know the answer so ......'
