This doesn't work nor has it worked for at least the last year, since the word grapefruit and grapefruit juice are not acceptable words to be added to the interaction list.
Can you provide us another method or search word please?
Although you are being hostile due to your frustration I do not justify it, because I am not the problem, I do understand it, this is why I will explain to you how you must proceed.
1.-Click on the link
2.-Add your medication (just one med at a time)
3.- Click on interactions and it will display/show 3 concepts;
a.-The number of meds your med interacts with (minor/moderate/major)
b.-Your med-alcohol and food interactions (click on food interactions and you will be able to check if your med interacts with grapefruit/juice, and other types of foods and obviously alcohol.)
c.-Disease interactions (your med might interact with)

Can I eat or drink grapefruit with my medicine?
More and more medicines have interactions with food and drinks. Grapefruit and other juices can interfere with some medicines. In many cases it will cause the levels of drugs to increase in the blood, which can cause side effects.
Drug interactions with grapefruit juice are important because they occur with common medicines, like statins used to help lower cholesterol, drugs that help lower blood pressure or even treatments that fight cancer.
Your prescription bottle or other written information will explain if you should avoid grapefruit juice with your medicine. Your pharmacist may attach a special sticker to your bottle, or it may be found in printed instructions they give to you. If you have questions about food or drink interactions with your medicines, your pharmacist is a great resource.
