Short answer: NAHI — grapefruit completely avoid karo Amlodipine pe.
Why — simple biology:
Grapefruit mein ek compound hai (furanocoumarin) jo liver ke CYP3A4 enzyme ko block karta hai. Yeh enzyme Amlodipine ko break-down karta hai.
Enzyme block = Amlodipine break-down nahi hoti = body mein 40-60% zyada Amlodipine jama ho jaati hai = dangerous BP drop.
