Periodontist of Beverly Hills California, Discusses Grapefruit Juice And Its Effects on Certain Prescription Medications.
Current studies have shown that an enzyme found in grapefruit can negatively interact with some prescriptions and possibly lead to liver damage and even kidney failure. Periodontist Dr Alex Farnoosh at The Total Smile comments, “Grapefruit is very popular and an essential element to many people’s everyday diets. Because many Americans are now on at least one type of prescription medication, this finding is incredibly important. Medical professionals like myself can better treat our patients by ensuring their health and safety and keeping them well informed of any possible dangers.” Grapefruit is not the only fruit containing this enzyme, it also found in seville oranges and tangelos.
