A member asked:

I'm taking ezetimibe 10mg per day for my cholesterol. is that true that i can not eat grapefruit while taking ezetimile?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ezetemibe: This cholesterol medication is not metabolized the same way as other cholesterol medications called "statins". Eating grapefruit once in a while should be fine.
