(Tangent) A lot of drugs have issues with grapefruit, in that grapefruit inhibits enzymes (e.g., CYP1A2) which the body uses to metabolize said drug. Most commonly, the grapefruit juice would cause inadvertent drug overdoses as the drug won’t otherwise be processed and simply continue to circulate.
