Before you wash down medication with just any beverage, watch out; common drinks, from fruit juice to coffee, can lessen the effectiveness of certain drugs as well as pose serious health threats when combined with some prescriptions:

health.yahoo.net/experts/dayinhealth/grapefruit-and-medications-may-be-deadly-mix and search.yahoo.com/search?cs=bz&p=Grapefruit%20warning&fr=fp-tts-541&fr2=ps are recently released articles that warns about the potentially deadly serious interactions with a long list of medications that can result from eating Grapefruit and/or drinking Grapefruit Juice.

As little as one grapefruit or one 8-ounce glass of grapefruit juice can cause an effect that may last more than 24 hours. Other fruits including Seville oranges, limes, and pomelos can have the same effect, although sweet orange varieties do NOT produce this interaction.
