Hello, Cammy! How are you?

The ingestion of grapefruit or its juice can affect how much of the medication is actually absorbed into your body by inhibiting the production of an intestinal enzyme, in some cases it can cause you not to absorb as much of the medication as you should, which is what happens with this medication.

Is there anything else I can help with?
