No one list is 100% complete. New drugs come out all the time and may not appear on lists yet.

So if in doubt, ask your local pharmacist before mixing your drugs with grapefruit.
I read the list. I looked up Alprazolam (I take either one half or 1 mg) at bedtime. I also take Lisinopril in the am. Being taking a PRIL since I'm 26 and I weighed 250 and my doctor said "you are 26 and I'm putting you on a high blood pressure med"" The only time in my life I ever had high blood pressure after that was when I had toxemia when I gave birth.

After that, (maybe it's because I take this pill every morning), I have NEVER had any high blood pressure readings. At Cornell or any doctor's office.

So I'll just take a bit of the grapefruit juice and see what happens with the Alprazolam. If I need to take one half of the pill, I'll take that.

Thanks much for all the great info. I do not know what I would do without you.
