• Interaction: Grapefruit juice• Severity: Major• Notes for Consumers: Avoid taking Nicardipine with grapefruit juice. Grapefruit juice and grapefruit-containing foods may increase the effects of Nicardipine.

Contact your prescriber if you have dizziness which does not go away while taking this medicine. If you notice new or increased swelling of your legs or ankles, tell your health care provider.• Notes for Professionals: Grapefruit juice contains compounds that inhibit the cytochrome P-450 CYP3A4 isozyme in the gut wall.

Co-administration of oral nicardipine with grapefruit juice significantly increases the AUC and peak plasma concentrations of nicardipine; the half-life of nicardipine is not affected. Grapefruit juice does not affect the pharmacokinetics of IV nicardipine. It is generally recommended to avoid grapefruit juice ingestion during nicardipine therapy.
