    Grapefruit can interact with many common medications by inhibiting the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP3A4 in the gut, which is responsible for metabolizing many drugs. This interaction can cause potentially dangerous increases in drug levels in the bloodstream. However, these interactions can often be avoided by timing the consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice carefully in relation to medication doses.
