• A: Grapefruit juice, grapefruit, and certain types of oranges can inhibit the metabolism’s breakdown of certain medications, such as Lovastatin and Trazodone. When the metabolism is inhibited this can cause higher levels of the medication in the body and potentially dangerous side effects. You may want to discuss the use of grapefruit with your doctor.
