POMEGRANATE JUICE

HOW POMEGRANATE JUICE CAN AFFECT STATIN USE

While pomegranate juice is among the juices with high antioxidants, it can alter statin metabolism. This way, it raises the drug level in blood and cause side effects. It can trigger itching, runny rose, swelling, and breathing difficulty.  Some individual may experience digestive problems, including diarrhea. If you want to use it, I recommend seeking help from your healthcare provide.

The work of a family doctor includes a wide range of clinical diversity, which requires extensive knowledge and erudition from a specialist. However, I believe that the most important thing for a family doctor is to be human because the cooperation and understanding between the doctor and the patient are crucial in ensuring successful health care. On my days off, I love being in nature. Since childhood, I have been passionate about playing chess and tennis. Whenever I have time off, I enjoy traveling around the world.
