OGIRC IN THE NEWS

Dr David Bailey from the OGIRC’s Safety Platform Technology Group was featured on the CBC’s National on Monday, November 26, 2012.  The interview and story focused on Dr Bailey’s continuing research into the interaction of grapefruit and certain medications.  The number of medications with which grapefruit interacts has increased to more than 85 – with the number producing extraordinarily serious side effects has jumped from 17 to 44 in the past four years.  A component of grapefruit increases the drugs’ bioavailability and the potential for serious side effects.  Dr. Bailey’s work with the OGIRC’s Safety PTG involves addressing the effect of ginseng extracts on the human CYP3A4 enzyme. The full article and a short video are available on the CBC website here.
