    • Notes for Professionals: Grapefruit juice is a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor, a moderate inhibitor of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), and an in vitro inhibitor of CYP2D6; doxorubicin is a major substrate of CYP2D6, CYP3A4, and P-gp. Clinically significant interactions have been reported when doxorubicin was coadministered with inhibitors of CYP2D6, CYP3A4, and/or P-gp, resulting in increased concentration and clinical effect of doxorubicin. Avoid coadministration of grapefruit juice and doxorubicin if possible. If not possible, closely monitor for increased side effects of doxorubicin including myelosuppression and cardiotoxicity.
