Washington, Apr 21: Grapefruit juice boosts the anti-cancer effects of the drug rapamycin, a new study has found.
In a small, early clinical trial, researchers at the University of Chicago Medical Center found that combining eight ounces of grapefruit juice with the drug rapamycin can increase drug levels, allowing lower doses of the drug to be given.
They also showed that the combination can be effective in treating various types of cancer.
