Simvastatin is the main one. Not at exactly the same time. It's usual to take a statin at nights, so not always an issue.

Most. Mainly heart medications.

EVERY prescription you get filled will come with an instruction sheet which will tell you when to take it, how many a day, and what foods/or alcohol NOT to eat/drink with the medication . Be sure you read it

Grapefruit does not hinder usage of prescription drugs. However, do follow the prescription as to whether you take the drug before food or after food and if any time interval is to be maintained between drug and foods.

None.
