Best not to: Altho many sites say there's no interaction between them, one study on animals showed an increase in Lactic Acid when the 2 r used. Taking them at different times of day doesn't help since grapefruit can interact 24 hrs later or more. Always best to take medications with full glass of water unless directed otherwise. http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/grapefruit-metformin-6250.html.
