Metoprolol And Grapefruit

2 Topics Found

I just saw on t.v. that certain medications shouldn't be taken with acidic drinks. Is metoprolol Tarta 50mg one of these drugs? I am a 2-cups-a-morning coffee drinker. ## Hello, Gary! How are you? I'm not sure what you saw on TV, but I have never heard anything like that. If a medication shouldn't be taken with something due to possible interactions, such as those that may occur with grapefruit juice, there will be a warning on your prescription bottle. Do you have any other details on what you saw? Were they talking about some specific issue? ## Grapefruit juice, also wine with cheese with some medicines. You're right, I suppose I shouldn't worry if a medicine doesn't have a specific warning noted. Thanks for your response!

can i eat a red pomelo if i am taking metoprolol ## Hi deanna, From what I could gather, there doesn't appear to be any sort of food interaction between Metoprolol and citrus-type fruits, such as pomelo/grapefruit. Grapefruit is a common interaction with many medications, so it was definitely wise of you to double check that first. NOTE: the bioavailability of metoprolol may be enhanced by food (in general), so your doctor may instruct you to take metoprolol at the same time each day, preferably with or immediately following meals. I hope this info helps!
