Why does my dr suggests for me to stop my graviola tincture tea, and breadfruit juice? Before my bronchoscopy procedure next week.

Prior to any surgical procedure any substances that can cause bleeding issues or interfere with any drugs that might be used need to be stopped. This is also true of anything we might eat or drink where the effect is not known.

Dear Patti72

As JeanE41 has replied, there may be unknown side effects of graviola tincture tea and breadfruit juice. This is standard preparation for Bronchoscopy, to stop taking medications that may cause bleeding e.g aspirin a few days before, anything else that may interact with medicines or if there is not enough evidence based research on the product (i.e your herbal drinks)

. I have copied a link for you detailing this.

If you wish to discuss anything you can call us on our free nurse led helpline number on

All the best with your bronchoscopy
