@dilaudiddaddy: Grapefruit juice: the only breakfast drink with a pharmacology section. Compounds in grapefruit (furanocoumarins) irreversibly knock out CYP3A4 in your gut wall, the enzyme that breaks down a long list of oral meds before they ever reach your bloodstream. Less enzyme means more drug. Same pill, bigger dose. One glass is enough, and the effect can last up to 3 days, so spacing it out from your meds doesn't fix it. On the list: certain statins, calcium channel blockers, oral midazolam, some immunosuppressants, and more. Check your med list. Tell your anesthesia team what you take, and what you drink with it. Save this for pharm. Send it to the person with a grapefruit tree. #health #welnness #medicine #nurse #food
