Juice question?

lorreymom

Hi,

I am looking at my info sheet for Cyclophosphamide. It says "Do not have any grapefruit, pomegranate, starfruit, Seville oranges or their juices/products while on this treatment, since this may make the drug not work as well."

So my question is...what are Seville oranges? Can I drink orange juice (eg. Tropicana, Minutemaid, or Oasis, etc)?

How long do I need to avoid these things?

Thanks!!

i think juice is fine. Seville oranges are used to make marmalade & in latin marinades that call for sour or bitter orange. I can't imagine that a slice of cuban roast pork or Mexican cochita pibil would absorb enough marinade to hurt.
