Wash down with grapefruit juice medication is life-threatening

How do I find the Institute of Lawson for the Study of Health, grapefruit, lime and Sevillian orange oranges contain furanocou-, which is several times increased the power of drugs that can cause acute renal failure, respiratory problems, internal bleeding, and even sudden death.

Furanocoumarin interact with the protein CYP3A4, which is contained in a number of anti-depressants, anti-allergy, from heart rhythm disorders and high cholesterol, for drugs to prevent HIV infection. In combination with grapefruit, and orange can be dangerous, many drugs that are taken orally, into the blood and contain the CYP3A4 (the latter drug absorbed through the mucosa in the gastrointestinal tract).

"With a grapefruit do not mix a lot of drugs that doctors often prescribed, and in such cases, the most common cardiovascular disease. The likelihood of unpleasant consequences is increased because for the last four years the number of incompatible medications with grapefruit grown "- warns one of the study's authors, David Bailey.

To date, according to Canadian experts, there are 85 drugs that are not compatible with some citrus. Four years ago there were only seventeen.

Compounding the problem is that many doctors do not know about the dangers of the combination of citrus and medicine and the patients themselves rarely comply with the required diet. Please be aware that furanocou- not removed from the body for hours after, so those who take drugs, it is better to exclude from the diet of citrus.
