In this lesson, students read a case study on the discovery of the adverse effect of combining grapefruit with certain medicines. Playing the role of a medical scientist, they then use sample data to investigate an adverse reaction connected to a food or drink interaction. Last, they develop an application for a known food or drink drug interaction that solves a problem. This lesson may be taught during a unit on chemical reactions or human biology.
