Pomegranates, like most fresh fruit, are not stamped with an expiration date. How long it will keep depends upon handling and storage conditions. Apparently, under controlled storage, pomegranates can keep for up to 5 months. See Related Links.

Does grapefruit juice interfere with effectiveness of tramadol?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Tramadol ALONE is NOT potentiated by grapefruit juice. Actually, quite the opposite is true. Since Tramadol is not technically an opiod and it works differently than other opiates, the way the liver processes it (and the result) is very different. Tramadol is broken down into O-desmethyltramadol by the cytochrome P450 isozyme CYP2B6, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4. O-desmethyltramadol is actually MORE POTENT than tramadol as far as Mu opiod activity, and thus, you WANT the liver to be converting Tramadol into O-desmethyltramadol. So grapefruit juice actually inhibits tramadol's effectiveness.

Does grapefruit juice remove cocaine from your system?

Asked by Wiki User

No. It may help a little, but only the correct amount of time will let you clear it and this is coming from a pro. Is your test supervised by that I mean does someone come into the toliet and watch you fill the cup? If not, just get someone who is clean to give you some of there urine and just use theirs. It will be totally undetectable; otherwise you can just sweat it out for 72 hours good luck.

All I did is correct some spelling errors and added a few commas and periods where needed. Hope I helped.

What is the best way to freeze fresh squeezed grapefruit juice?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Freezing fresh squeezed juice in an ice tray is indeed the best way to freeze fresh-squeezed juices, which are essential to quality cocktails. I just wanted to note that a standard size ice cube is approximately 1oz juice, which makes measuring for cocktails especially easy. Zap a cube in the microwave for 30 seconds to thaw.

Can you drink grapefruit juice while on doxycycline?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

My advice? Don't take doxycycline. I had only been taking it for a week and it created an ulcer in my esophagus. It was super painful to swallow and I couldn't eat anything for almost two weeks... it was not fun. I stopped taking it.

However, the doctor told me it really doesn't matter what you eat or drink-- it will still work. Things like taking it on an empty stomach or not drinking milk within 2 hours of taking it might help just get it working faster, but it ultimately doesn't make enough of a difference to worry about.

Just DO NOT lie flat until a couple hours after you take it though! That's why I got an ulcer-- I'd take it at night then go to bed. BAD idea.

What is the interaction between grapefruit juice and marijuana?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

i believe grapefruit contains chemicals that can act as mild maoi's meaning your body wont be able to remove THC from itself as quickly as without grapefruit. so it should in theory be stronger and longer lasting. but remember it will be a lot easier to overdose( not that that you can overdose on weed, but i don't know if u plan on taking any other drugs) so be careful and lower the dosage

Grapefruit juice is a potent inhibitor of liver metabolism, specifically CYP3A4.

THC is metabolized mainly by CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4. So GJ inhibits a subset of the cytochrome P450 enzymes that metabolize THC, prolonging the effects.

Is it safe to drink v8 juice?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes and no. It is always a good idea to have a balanced diet that includes vegetables, and some people find that drinking V8 Vegetable Juice is one way to put some vegetables into their daily diet. It is low-fat, and contains the juice of tomatoes, carrots, celery, beets, parsley, lettuce, watercress and spinach. But while an eight ounce serving of V8 is high in Vitamin A and Vitamin C, it is also high in sodium (salt), which is not good for you. Many nutritionists suggest making your own vegetable juice, which will be fresher, tastier, and better for you.
