I've read an account recently about how grapefruit can interact with drugs and either increase or decrease the concentration of the active components in the blood.
I believe the original findings were caused when they were testing the effects of alcohol on blood pressure tablets, and using grapefruit juice to "hide" the alcohol. Subsequently they found the grapefruit had increased the quantity of the blood pressure medication in the blood.
All of which raises the issue - has there been any findings of whether the active ingredient in grapefruit juice which causes this has known impacts on any illegal drugs?
NB- I've used the search function but couldn't find much fact.
