PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

...food interactions with medication can be just as bad as, if not more serious than, medication interactions.

This is your Fandom!Secrets Public Service Announcement Broadcast System, signing off.

I'm always surprised by how few people know how dangerous grapefruit juice and to a lesser extent all citrus juice can be with some drugs.

probably because, depending on the doctor, they don't always go cray advertising this. Granted, I don't take any medication on a regular basis, so I don't deal with the doctors often.

OP

In my case it was allergy meds and antacids. NOT a fun combo -- the antacids actually leave 60% of the medication circulating in your system. When 70% of it is supposed to be eliminated. Resulting in side effects that rise from deep R'lyeh where they lay dreaming.... I had a family member who nearly died because of citrus juice/blood thinners. And again, nobody caught it. Nobody caught on with me, either, even though I told GP, specialist, AND pharmacist I was having side effects from hell, and could they please give me alternatives and/or meds to deal with the side effects.

This all happened last year, but I never found out until recently, when I was looking for a completely different interactions list. What happened was, I noticed moderately increased side effects from my GERD meds in combo with the allergy pills, so I said to my self, "Self! Take regular antacids for a few days instead!" Yeah. That was when the side effects really went pear-shaped, and I felt extremely ill (and was travelling alone at the time).

In hindsight, I am very very very lucky. Everything is connected, F!S. Food and pills can be bad, bad ju-ju depending on what you eat and what you are taking.

Dear Chard,

Two clicks from your vid. I found this.

I don't understand it. Should I be amused? Horrified? IDK. It's just...a train wreck. Can't understand it, can't turn it off. Can anyone tell me what the people are saying in this video?

(Sorry, the login messed me up)

No, Chardmonster, I am aware you didn't make the vid or upload it. Your video opened the door to the weird side of youtube though. I'm the idiot who clicked on the links that took me there.

The only thing I might blame you for is contributing to the delinquency of an unsuspecting net-surfer.

Seriously, though: Is there anyone on F!S who can tell me what is actually happening in this vid? Perhaps if there was some context, I could stop seeing this in my head?
