Possible: Tropical fruits have been shown to inhibit enzymes in the liver that help break down drugs. While this has not been critically tested in patients, test tube results are concerning. I would review with your doctor your medications and the available patient data on the interaction of tropical fruits with you meds.

There may be: Rambutan has high level of potassium and it may be bad for you, but discuss with your nephrologist to discuss if you should eat this fruit and the amount.
