Topical shouldn't be a problem.  My understanding re. grapefruit was 
that it was the juice specifically, but best check that.  Is there a 
pharmacologist you could ask for advice?  I know I've had good luck in 
the past simply ringing local pharmacies and asking to speak to whoever 
on staff is a trained pharmacologist, or, alternatively, going via the 
hospital and asking to speak to the one on staff.  Don't know whether 
that could be done in the USA though.


Best wishes,

Sarah
