I take a medication to lower my cholesterol. Is it safe to take grapefruit seed extract with it? I know grapefruit isn't safe, but what about GSE?
Memory Foam, Tempurpedic and many more
Better you avoid it, there is no theory explaining not to take it but I will suggest you to be careful.

An enzyme in grapefruit greatly increases the effect of statin medications. The potential is to develop a syndrome of spontaneous muscle cells ruptures called rhabdomyolisis. When enough muscle cells pour out their contents into the blood stream (i.e. myoglobin, creatinine kinase) the kidneys become clogged resulting in complete kidney failure. A life time of dialysis treatments or a kidney transplant from a compatable donor could be the overall result.
Some says that grapefruit extract is an effector and natural cholesterol reducer
