Hello Mrs,This is not ideal. Grapefruit may compromise your body's ability to eliminate simvastatin for 1 to 3 days If you enjoy eating grapefruit or drinking its juice, you should talk to your family pharmacist: there are two drugs in the same class as Zocor that are safe for people who eat grapefruit.Find out more! Your pharmacist will certainly be able to suggest a solution to your family doctor that will allow you to continue to enjoy the taste of grapefruit on a daily basis.I hope I have answered your question accurately!Sincerely,Stéphane Villeneuve, pharmacist
