Eating Pomelo whilst on alovostatins

Does anyone know if there is a problem with eating Pomelo whilst taking statins in the same way as grapefruit is not allowed?

Just googled it, best to avoid.

I am not on statins, I bought one recently, I used to eat them for breakfast when I lived in Singapore as a child.

I ate 50g per day with some cheese and my numbers didn't budge. I rarely see it in the supermarkets.

Scroll down to "Drug interactions" here at Wikipedia.

Our Lidl have had them in for weeks on end.

I have only been to the nearest Lidl once, it's a car ride away in the next town. Going to have to check it out, thanks.
