Should We Avoid Having Grapefruit When Taking Medications For High Blood Pressure And Lorazapam?

Hello Dr. Grief, Am I correct in assuming it is probably best for my 86 year old Dad to avoid eating grapefruit because he is on numerous medications for high blood pressure and also takes Lorazapam on a daily basis? As a side note he had a pacemaker implanted this past Wednesday.
