Family, Internal Medicine, General Medical Questions - Medicine and supplement with grapefruit as one ingredient

Expert: Robert Borucki - 6/23/2009

Question
I am presently taking Diovan HCT and Amlodpine daily. Is it safe to take a supplement with grapefruit in it?

Answer
it is the acidic juice that screws up absorbtion... so if it is a capsule, no problem. If it is liquid, just take it separate from the time you take your amlodipine. You can take Amlodipine morning or night, so just use one at one time, one at the other.
Hope this helps.
