Some of the compounds found in grapefruit juice, furanocoumarins, can be metabolized by the same P450 enzyme subtype as your medication. In plain English: your medication may be metabolized by the same critter that metabolizes part of the grapefruit juice, which can result in a greater amount of your prescription drug remaining in the body or, on the other hand, your drug being metabolized too quickly. However, if you're not digesting the juice (like in the shampoo) it is most likely harmless. Then again, I'm not an MD so call your doctor. Grapefruit juice interacts with some drugs.
