No, the problem/interaction only exists for grapefruit juice. All other fruit (orange, apple, grape, etc.) juices are fine to take with tacrolimus.

Am on tac for two years. No grapefruit juice. It causes a malabsorption and you are not getting the right dose when you drink it. As you know, the tac has to be constant to do its job.
Other juices are fine as long as they are not holding a mix of it. Reading the label is my best bet.
Good luck with it.
