grapefruit

What are the implications of eating grapefruit while taking medication for hypothyroidism?

I took it all the time when I was taking carbimazole and thyroxine. I was told it was ok. Still eating grapefruit and taking DMARDS for arthritis, told it was ok fir that too.

Moderate amounts can impair levothyroxine absorption a little.  Excessive amounts had a large effect on one patient.  See ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl... .
