I dont have grapefruit juice, love it but not had it for years. I am on Amlodipine for Blood pressure and Lysinipril.
When you are on tablets for BP or similar always have a Kydney and Liver function test they can become affected eventually . Even Ibruprofen affects the Kydneys eventually.
I have the blood tests every six months.

great for somepeople?
Hi shipmates. Grapefruit is not very nice , I use to drink it with white rum ,still not good but it takes away the bitter taste,Old name for it was shaddock fruit name after a sea Captain who first brought it back ? Grapefruit called now after the many small pips {Grapeshot} Back to the drugs all statins make my joins and arms and legs weak and painful also effect my eyes with bad vision. I would not take one again ,my hands were so bad weak I could not hold a pint glass with one hand. But after a couple of weeks of no statins every thing came good again thanks to my chemist review, I know lots of people, who can take them with no side effects..... but not me .

Dont be a lab rat
hi shipmates, hi cappy they put me on ezetimibe after my statins side effects', Hi Captain Kong I am on the same tablets as yourself, and have blood test every 6 months now was 3 months, Repeat for all my shipmates if you suffer any side effect from any drug {legal} report it to your chemist, you wont get into trouble with your G.P and you may save someones life, its all goes on to a data base and the drug companys have to do something about it.
