Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 My mom and I both have RA, she got it when she was 35 and has had it for over 20 years. I was just diagnosed this year, I am 33. I never even used to take anything, even for a headache. Now my life and ability to function depend on them! My mom recently found this site and it has a drug interaction checker. I put in my drugs (you can even put in vitamins and such) and didn't find any harmful interactions but did say grapefruit could have an effect on two of the drugs I take. Interesting. With the number of drugs everyone here is on, I thought some of you might be interested as well. The site is http://www.drugs.com/, just click on the " drug interactions checker " at the top.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Thanks, Jennie, for posting the link. I’ve wanted to check to see if grapefruit juice would affect any of the meds I take for weeks. Ever since a posted the article about grapefruit juice really helping metabolism I’ ve been drinking 4 oz 3 times per day. Hope you’re having a good day.
