I know with some blood pressure meds you are not to have grapefruit juice.

The best source to ask would be your pharmacist. They would have a list of

all your meds and could review them then advise you. When I was on blood

pressure meds, that information was on the data sheet that was given with my

prescriptions.

A pharmacist may or may not know

which ones.

About 9 yrs ago, when I first went on BP meds, I vaguely remembered hearing

something in the news about BP meds and grapefruit juice.

I asked my pharmacist, but she was not aware of it. However, she started

making phone calls until she found the answer. As soon as she did, she called

me at home. It wasn't long after that the information was printed on the

data sheet that came with my meds.

Even though we are required to use a mail order pharmacy, if I have any

questions about meds, I always go to this particular pharmacist. I know I'll

get

the right answer.

They also say to not use them with antidepressants like zoloft and things

like that.
