Re: Verapamil - "AVOID DRINKING GRAPEFRUIT JUICE"
There is a chemical that is in grapefruit and therefore in high concentration in grapefruit juice that makes active properties in verapimil, well basicly useless.
It is a good ideal to avoid grapefruit juice if on verapimil.

Grapefruit juice is not good for a lot of medications.
Check out the interaction of your meds before you start them.Every great thing that has ever happened since the beginning of time has started as a single thought in someones mind.
So if you are capable of thought then you are capable of great things
Good luck and stay well.
