If it hadn't been for a note in today's Cholesterol Network Newsletter, I still wouldn't have known that I shouldn't be eating grapefruit.
What are the dangers of eating grapefruit while taking lipitor? It can cause a serious muscle reaction called Rhabdomyolysis. According to Hub Pages:
Rhabdomyolysis is a severe muscle reaction that can cause death. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience unexplained muscle pain or weakness-especially if you have flu-like symptoms or a fever or any other unusual signs. These may be early warnings of muscle or liver problems.
When considering using lipitor grapefruit or any drink containing grapefruit juice should be avoided. Information sheets that accompany Lipitor detail this information.
I don't recall receiving any information when I was prescribed lipitor. If you are taking lipitor or an cholesterol drug, be sure to check with your doctor or pharmacist about dietary restrictions.
