Hi, I heard that you can't eat grapefruits when you are taking high pressure medication. Is this true?

Hello,
Yes, depending on the medication you are taking, it may be possible to consume grapefruit. Grapefruit can increase the effect of some drugs, including some anti-hypertensive drugs. The interaction also depends on the dose of the drug
What medication are you taking and what is the dose?

Hello, for metoprolol, it is 25 mg per day and for valsartan it is 160 mg per day

There are no interactions between grapefruit and these 2 drugs. If no other medication is involved, you can safely consume grapefruit
