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?

Hi Pop,
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.

I'm eating 1/2 of a grapefruit right now, with my middle finger extended to the world. Coffee and a ciggie will cost you extra.

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.

Thank you everyone. I also talked to my doctor and basically told me how silly I was being. Just how its so prevalent, ya know. The warnings.
Thank you all again for your replies. Sorry I took so long to reply

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!

My Dr. told me not to drink the other forbidden juice ::) I think she realized how pointless the advice was but felt compelled to give it ;D ;D

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

Ugh! I hate grapefruit. The ONLY way I can tolerate it is as Squirt soda.

Have a good one

I my mind immediately raced to the early days when I wondered why everyone had a different taste than mine...

Oh, y'all (I'm a good Southerner) are so mean - I'm wanting forbidden juice so bad right now - make mine tall and Latino - oh, and throw some alcohol my way, too! ;)
