Grapefruit juice

Just when you thought that juice is good for you, Health Canada is advising Canadians not to take certain drugs with grapefruit juice. Did other people know about this?

Thanks to Heather for the link. ;-)

  2. The dose is probably intended to be entirely absorbed, so an overdose isn't possible unless you take too many pills. :) Underabsorption could happen if it passes through you too quickly I guess!
    Looks like it has more to do with the acidity though.
