Description: 

Garvan C. Kane, MD, AND James J. Lipsky, MD reviewed literature on drug-grapefruit juice interactions in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings. They suggested that more research needs to be done in this area, since numerous studies show such interactions, and many older people drink grapefruit juice at breakfast time, when they are taking these medications.
