Title: I drank forbidden juice!
Post by: popqueer on May 11, 2009, 09:48:58 pm: I accidentally took two gulps of grapefruit juice. I'm on Truvada, Norvir, and Lexiva. This happened about 6 hours after taking it. Should I be worried?

No, a one-off isn't going to make any difference. It's just not something you'd want to drink every day.

LOL - forbidden juice! ;D

You'll be fine.

Post by: elf on May 12, 2009, 08:55:07 pm: What my doc told me:

1. grapefruit juice does NOT lower the concentration of your meds
2. grapefruit juice CAN make that concentration go UP, so you can experience
more side effects or stronger side effects, that's all

(up to 1L is ok)

I drank 1L of grapefruit LIGHT juice and had diarrhea, but
I think it must've been artificial sweeteners and not higher concentration of Kaletra in my bloodstream.

Post by: NYCguy on May 26, 2009, 05:29:23 pm: I love anything forbidden..especially juice ;)

My doc said not to worry much about Grapefruit juice, especially if I'm just eating the fruit. I eat grapefruits a lot with breakfast, which is when I take my meds (reyetaz, norvir, truvada) and never had a problem. I think the issue is really only with Norvir, at least according to the interaction tool on this site, and if you're just taking a boosting dose, I don't think there's anything to worry about.

So juice up!

Title: Re: I drank forbidden juice!
Post by: aztecan on July 05, 2009, 01:39:12 pm: I ate a grapefruit this morning, well, half of one.

It is the first time I have had a grapefruit in more than a decade.

It was yummy, but the taste was somehow different. Then I remembered the last time I ate a grapefruit was before I quit smoking. ::)

Now that I am off the PIs, I am going to give them a shot again. I do live grapefruit.

HUGS,

Mark
