Does it interact with meds? I know grapefruit does with lots of meds.

I found this, pineapple has bromelain:

"Bromelain can also interfere with certain medications, including some drugs in the following classes:

  • antibiotics.
  • blood thinners.
  • antidepressants.
  • anticonvulsants."

Are you going to eat pineapple everyday? I don’t think occassional few slices would hurt unless your doc tells you about it specifically.

I drank pineapple juice every day for many months. No problem. Orange juice got to me though.
