1 interaction related to sweet orange
Blood orange (Citrus sinensis var.) is a sweet orange and does not contain the furanocoumarins (such as bergamottin and 6',7'-dihydroxybergamottin) that drive the grapefruit-statin interaction. Reviews of citrus furanocoumarin content place blood orange among the sweet oranges that are essentially free of clinically significant CYP3A4-inhibiting compounds, so it is not expected to meaningfully affect simvastatin levels.
