Grapefruit juice...

[Mesomorphyl]

This is a serious question as grapefruit juice can effect medications by blocking something in the liver and I think in turn half life of meds are greatly lengthened. Does it perpetuate or increase the absorbtion? How would taking 17aa orals with grapefruit juice effect a person?

I've heard grapefruit juice with methyls such as m1t increases its absorption.

Here is what popped up when I searched, great info, but did not actually say what the effects were if used with medications like a 17aa drug.

Here is lewd's other post about the cytochrome P450 pathway, anyone ever used this thinking in taking their orals? It could be dangerous I guess. Want experiences or educated opinions please. Bump

Does anyone use gf juice with thier orals?

It increases the absorbsortion of some medicines, some meds even
come with a warning not to drink grapefruit juice with them... Known
fact and yes it's known to increse absorbtion of 17AA orals also to a
certain degree... Doesn't change the drug's halflife though... Just aids
in your body absorbing more of some drugs or medicines...
