Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 THANK YOU,I'VE TRIED TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT GRAPEFRUIT JUICE & GRAPEFRUIT IN GENERAL BUT I GUESS PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DO WHAT THEY WANT. I JUST TRY TO HELP, I HATE SEEING LITTLE KIDS SUFFER THE WAY I DID GROWING UP. I WOULD DRINK IT EVERYDAY UNTIL I LEARNED THAT IT WAS A PARTIAL CAUSE OF ME HAVING MORE SEIZURES.

Most of the benzodiazepines (diazepam etc) also fall into this category . It affects the meds that are metabolised thru the same pathways as grapefruit (or any of it's derivatives), as when they are metabolised together, it means the clearance rate of the med is slowed, and it can build up in the blood/tissues, causing toxicity.
