Just been given some blueberries is it safe for me to add them to porridge etc on ticagrelor Bisoprolol atorvastatin asprin and Lansoprazole.

I eat them daily

I avoid commenting on compatibility, especially when someone is on a cocktail of drugs, as I am, but I regard blueberries as one of the best foods to eat. I've just come home with a fresh supply.

[Hanibil]

Have them every day for breakfast.

Why wouldn't they be OK? Fruit and veg are in the group of foods us hearties are supposed to eat, and the only exceptions to that for me, are anything citrus since I suffer from gastric reflux disease.

I agree but some of my meds say not to have grapefruit went taking them.

I think Grapefruit is a bit of a funny one, I know it reacts with warfarin and possibly some bi-polar meds like lithium.

I'm on Bisoprolol for AF and A Flutter and have had no problems with blueberries. Unless one of your other meds lists side effects relating to fruit I'd guess they are OK unless some medic has warned you about them in the past. You could always ask your practice pharmacist.

I take all those tablets except Ticagrelor and eat blueberries every day with no ill effects. I know I'm not allowed grapefruit with one of them but I can't remember which one

[Graysonfan]

I've been on Bisoprolol for years and eat blueberries every day for breakfast with no side effects.
