TODAY’S TEST QUESTION:
CORRECT ANSWER:
D) none of the above

- As a good TEST taking rule of thumb, it’s best to take most medications with water and avoid taking with any juices-especially grapefruit juice.
- Remember that this is a rule of thumb for most cases, but not all

- Taking any of these juices with this over the counter antihistamine can cause decreased levels of fexofenadine
- This means that the medication won’t work as well
