Best to look or ask before having anything containing grapefruit. Some med groups are worse than others.
Would also depend on the med mix you are taking as well. Know I got the warning.
Happy Easter weekend everyone. Stay happy healthy and enjoy the nice weather now that (hoping) spring is
finally here.

My daughter Erika (4) is on Trileptal, and there is a warning in the packaging
about grapefruit. It says that it makes the med less effective. I remember
seeing that on Phenobarbital, and Tegretol too.

I heard or read, I don't remeber.
That grapefruit is bad for us who have seizures and epilepsy.
I'm not sure if it causes more or what?
Have any of you heard of this or is it just a myth?
