Hi everyone,

I was just wondering your opinions on grapefruit interacting with bcp. I have read a lot of different things. Mostly I am wondering how long the grapefruit-interacting substance stays in your system...like would it be ok if I ate grapefruit during my period, when I am not taking my pill? Sort of a weird question, but I really enjoy grapefruit! Thanks for any input.

never heard of it interacting with bcpills but it does interact with certain other prescriptions including cholesterol pills and blood pressure pills-I'm on a couple and I can't eat/drink grapefruit while taking them...
