Don’t Mix Juice and Medicine

First, scientists found grapefruit juice boosted the absorption of nearly 50 medicines, raising the risk of side effects. Now a new study (with the antihistamine fexofenadine) says grapefruit, oranges, and apples juices have a reverse effect, cutting absorption by half.  Other studies found this true for beta-blockers, antibiotics and anticancer agents.
CONCLUSION? Always take medicine with water.
