Do you drink grapefruit juice? 

Do you take medications?


If you answer yes to both – please read this whole article to see if your medications are among those that interact with grapefruit juice.

For some medications:

Taking one tablet with a glass of grapefruit juice is like taking 20 tablets with a glass of water," Bailey said. "This is unintentional overdosing. So it's not surprising that these levels go from what we call therapeutic to toxic.

And if you have friends or family members who love their grapefruit and/or grapefruit juice – please let them know about this article.
