5 types of fruit juices you shouldn't drink while taking medication.

If you have a habit of taking medication with fruit juice, or immediately before or after drinking juice, the medication may cause unexpected side effects.

1. Grapefruit juice

This type of juice can react with over 40 different medications, and you may experience various side effects after taking your medication. You should avoid drinking grapefruit juice at breakfast or with medication if you have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or heart rhythm disorders.

2. Blueberry juice

If you are taking warfarin, an anticoagulant medication used to treat heart attacks, strokes, blood clots, etc., you should avoid drinking cranberry juice.

Studies show that this juice contains flavonoids and compounds that may affect warfarin metabolism and its anticoagulant effects.

Apple juice may affect the absorption of medication.

3. Apple juice

Several studies have found that apple juice may affect the absorption of medications, particularly warfarin. Patients undergoing chemotherapy or taking Atenolol, an antihypertensive drug, should also avoid drinking apple and grapefruit juice.

4. Pineapple juice

If you are taking blood thinners, you should avoid pineapple juice. Pineapple contains bromelain, a substance that can affect the blood clotting ability of the medication.

Additionally, this substance reacts with antibiotics and sedatives such as benzodiazepines used to treat anxiety. If you have an infection or are taking medication for depression, you should avoid pineapple.

If you are taking medication, you should not drink orange juice with it.
