Hi Kelli, thanks for the tip! I had no idea that had grapefruit in it.
My understanding of it is that grapefruit can reduce the efficacy of the drug. It does the same to statins (cholesterol drugs), so at most is like missing a dose. Disclaimer: I’m not a doctor, but I’ve seen all episodes of House. Lol.

Good thing I’m not a doctor, I got that backwards! Grapefruit can actually INCREASE the effect of Camzyos as well as some statins.
