4.Drug Interactions

Pineapple might even interfere or interact with certain types of medications or drugs.including antibiotics, sedatives, and anti-seizure drugs. Bromelain thins the blood, people who take blood thinners should not eat pineapple.

Generally bromelain increases the effectiveness of the drugs, which sounds like a good thing, but actually puts you in the position to overdose without realising it.

This might lead to heightened side effects and other problems. When a fresh pineapple is combined with certain antibiotics it might lead to an increase in the side effects caused by these antibiotics. The symptoms of amoxicillin include chest pain, bloody nose, chills, fever, dizziness etc.
