Grapefruit Tolerances
Apr 18, 2003

Two years ago, my first Rx regimine included ddi, Kaletra and Ziagen - one of them did not mix well with grapefruit. Currently my Rx's are Viread, Sustiva and Epivir, but haven't gone near a grapefruit since I started out (2) years ago.

Can I go back to having grapefruit? 'cause I sort of miss it.

Thanks

Response from Mr. Vergel

I would stay away from grapefruit since it has shown to decrease the clearance of certain medications. I miss milk also but can't take it because of intolerance. There are a few things we just need to give up and be OK with it.
