I heard that you can't eat grapefruit when taking high blood pressure medication. Is that true?

Yes, it is true that some medications for high blood pressure can interact with grapefruit. Grapefruit can increase the effects of certain medications, including some anti-hypertensives. The interaction also depends on the dose of the medication. It is important to know which medication you are taking and what the dosage is before consuming grapefruit.
