Grapefruit and the chemical breakdown of oral anabolics..

[whodaman]

I know that some medication (specifically bloodpressure meds) are not to be taken with grapefruit or any other acidic food because it breaks up or changes the chemical make up and renders the drugs useless. Does anyone know if this is true with oral anabolics? I would hate for us to waste our anabolics.

No, you are not supposed to drink grapefruit juice because it doesn't allow your body to efficiently break down the drug in question. In other words, the doctors don't wanna give you too much good stuff. This is why many people wash down their orals with grapefruit juice.

Cheers.
