TODAY’S TEST QUESTION:


CORRECT ANSWER:

D) none of the above

MORE INFO:

  • 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
  • An example is vitamin C can help with iron absorption so orange juice might actually help with absorption.
  • 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
