The People's Pharmacy with Joe and Terry Graedon


Grapefruit is not the only food that may interact with some medications. Limes, pomelos and Seville oranges used in marmalade all share grapefruit's potential. Peppermint, licorice and charcoal-grilled meats could all alter drug levels or activity. High-fiber foods such as oat bran or bran muffins can interfere with absorption. Joe and Terry Graydon are joined by Dr. David Bailey on the People's Pharmacy, and they discussed how the food you eat affects your medicine.
