Grapefruit juice fucks all kinds of drugs up. Can make them last longer, lose effectiveness, activate the active ingredients all at once instead of over time, inhibit active ingredients, make some drugs toxic, etc.

It’s true of all citrus to some degree, but grapefruit’s effects are waaaaaay more pronounced. It’s some sort of flavonoid or something. I can’t remember just now.
