Over 80 drugs are known to interact with grapefruit of which 43 types of prescription medication could cause serious side effects. Grapefruits contain furanocoumarins,a group of chemicals that can affect drug metabolism by inhibiting an enzyme in the intestine which breaks down drugs,thus increasing the time it takes for a drug to be broken down by the body. This has the effect of increasing the effective amount of the drug in the body several times above the level of the intended dose.
