I UNDERSTAND POMEGRANATES AND ANTI-CHOLESTROL DRUGS may not mix.
Compounds called furanocoumarins inhibit a gut enzyme,meaning the body absords more of the medication.

A surprising number of foods and drugs do not mix. Grapefruit is contraindicated for almost any combination.
I am currently taking Simvastatin,which is an anti cholesterol drug and the only thing I was advised not to consume by my doctor is Grapefruit Juice and Alcohol.Never heard of the Pomegranates,I do not eat them in any case.
