But if on medication e.g. ACE inhibitors like Ramipril :Pomegranate seeds and fruit can interact with Ramipril, an ACE inhibitor used to treat high blood pressure & Heart Failure . Pomegranate can lower blood pressure, which might increase the risk of side effects like dizziness or fainting when taken with Ramipril.
