@vantablack No, you're good.
The reason you're not supposed to eat citrus with meds is the high acidity - the gummy bears aren't all that acidic, cuz if they were, they wouldn't be gummy so much as slimy.

@naln1 @vantablack Grapefruit specifically is contraindicated because it inhibits CYP3A4 which can increase blood levels of certain drugs. You're still good though lol, it's only a danger if you're drinking grapefruit juice or eating the raw fruit.
