Research suggests that orange, apple and grapefruit juice cancels the effects of some antibiotics and allergic rhinitis medicine. Apparently, by drinking juice it seems to prevent the ingredients of the medicine from entering the blood, making it useless.

According to Professor David Bailey, a researcher, this fact is still part of the iceberg, and it is said that more drugs with such influences will be discovered. Professor Bailey has discovered that grapefruit juice will expand the influence of blood pressure medication felodipine to a dangerous level 20 years ago.

And the latest study shows that fruit juice can further reduce the power of the medicine and there is a potential possibility to stop any good effect of medicine.

Medications indicated to be weakened by grapefruit, orange and apple juice are those containing beta blocker atenolol, seriprolol and talinolol that reduce blood pressure. In addition, fexofenadine used for treatment of hay fever is also included. Furthermore, the multipurpose antibiotic ciprofloxacin and the anticancer agent etoposide are also affected.

So at the end of the drinking juice it is not so, it is not so much that juice interferes with the effect of the medicine within 2 hours after drinking, and there was no interference by juice at the time 4 hours passed. Therefore, it seems necessary to drink juice after opening a sufficient time interval.
