Fruit juice "may interfere with drugs' efficacy"
Research presented at the American Chemical Society’s conference in Philadelphia suggests a chemical found in grapefruit juice could stop anti-allergy drugs being absorbed properly. It is already known to interfere with blood pressure drugs. A team at the University of Western Ontario, in Canada, said they expect to find that there are more products which are so affected by naringin, which appears to block a mechanism that moves drug molecules out of the small intestine into the bloodstream.
