Grapefruit ties up the cytochrome P450 system so it affects drug clearance. It is not a good thing to do while on treatment.
I, too, don't KNOW the 'real' answer, HOWEVER, the literature said do not use/ingest grapefruit or Seville Oranges. There are enough other things out there to eat/drink that I have had NO problem following this instruction. I want to help these meds in every way I can so I can defeat this dragon. Is grapefruit so important in your diet to take a chance?
Don't mean to be a hard nose but think it is so important that we do our part in this fight!
Wishing you the best and SVR! Pat
Hi
I keep seeing people here say no grapefruit but I have not seen anything on that. My doctors office know anything about this either.
I don't do grapefruit anyway but does anyone have a link on this?
Just curious
Thanks
Lynn
Do you mean with olysio, grapefruit not allowed ?
