The article says that grapefruit wipes out cytochrome P450s for up to 12 hours.
Lets say I'm taking a medication which is impacted by this. If I were to take my meds and then have a grapefruit 12 hours later, would it impact the dosage of the medication?
- WhompingWindows 6y agoProbably not. If the grapefruit is coming into your system 12 hours after the drug, the drug's already been processed by the P450 system. I think the odd coincidence here is that grapefruit is a "breakfast food" and thus people take it with their morning meds.
