Brief Answer:
Should be avoided

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM.

Well , if you meant Pomegranate juice then it should be avoided if you take any statins. There is no much evidence but some studies suggest possible relation between this combination and kidney damage so to be safe, it would be better to avoid this type of fruits,or at least take it in small amounts.

Wish you good health.
Regards
