I love grapefruit and was cutting one in half yesterday when I remembered to check. Yes, Plavix is on the list of medications that grapefruit interacts with. So no grapefruit for 21 days. I’m glad I remembered!
So why didn’t I think of it earlier? Because there were a couple of higher priority things demanding my attention that morning. It was nothing like what Sandra (Mad Snapper) is going through, but the fact is our brains can handle only so much at one time.
I keep thinking of when Kaitlin was little and Andy’s mother told her something and told her to remember it. Kaitlin looked panicked and said,
My brain already has too much to remember!
Good for her for recognizing that so early in life.

…I take Plavix and statins, so grapefruit is off limites for me too.
Good luck!
There have been a few things since I had my stent implant that I never even thought would be a problem. It wasn’t until afterwards that I discovered, nope shouldn’t have done that. Seems to me if they put you on that kind of medicine they should give you a list of things you need to avoid. The only thing I was told was that I couldn’t take my anti-inflammatory meds any more. Apparently mixing anti-inflammatory and blood thinners can increase your risk of death.
Wow! We have to be careful.
I think my brain never got unfull…
🙂
I used to eat grapefruit like an orange. Now I cannot stand it. Odd. I am experiencing foggy brain. I do not like it.
That’s yucky!
Sorry about the grapefruit. True, our brains can only handle so much and yes, Sandra is going through so much. That’s interesting about Kaitlin. Hope your weekend goes well.
Thanks.
I wish there was a decent way to unclutter my brain.
Good luck!
Now I’m curious about the higher priority things were!
I wrote to you. 🙂
Hi Jean, I do not take that medication, but I do take a medication on a regular daily basis that alerts me to not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice…so I don’t.
Thanks for sharing this! I hope you have a lovely weekend.
It’s interesting that grapefruit does that.
I love grapefruit, too, but try not to eat it in front of Tom. His meds forbade it, as well.
Good for you for being considerate. 🙂
How true.

My brain has been full for a while now LOL!
