Interaction warnings

Lovastatin + grapefruit

high

Grapefruit juice blocks intestinal CYP3A4, dramatically increasing lovastatin and lovastatin acid exposure. A controlled study showed lovastatin Cmax rose ~12-fold and AUC ~15-fold after high-dose grapefruit juice, sharply raising the risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis.
