Can I drink Grapefruit juice while taking Lisinopril?
According to my “Pill Book” and “PDR”, Lisinopril has no known food interactions except to limit comsumption of potassium rich food such as orange juice, milk, and bananas. My book does not mention avoiding grapefruit juice. It does mention to avoid antacids within 2 hours of taking the drug. The book also mentions to avoid OTC diet pills and decongestants. Since grapefruit juice does interact with many BP meds, to be safe please ask your pharmacist or doctor before drinking grapefruit juice.
