Progress Report:

Microbiology: tick! Done and sort of dusted. Let's see how much of that I will remember in few weeks time.


Pharmacology: I actually like this subject (something one doesn't encounter very often during revision period). Receptors are cool. Fact.


Curious fact of the day: active components in grapefruit juice (furanocoumarins) can inhibit the metabolism of many drugs such as midazolam, atorvastatin and cyclosporin. These active components may also block drug transporters in GI tract leading to enhanced oral bioavailability of some compounds. 


Moral of the story? If in doubt, don't drink grapefruit juice!
