The Ministry of Health of the Ryazan Region told about what you can wash down your pills with.
Russians were reminded about dangerous combinations during cold season.
Only water
Water is a neutral liquid that does not conflict with the active substances of the drug, the agency’s press service reported on its VKontakte page.
No tea or coffee
Medicines prescribed by a doctor should not be taken with tea or coffee. These drinks contain tannins, which act as sorbents.
In addition, these drinks contain caffeine, which neutralizes the effect of sedatives.
Ban on dairy products
Milk, like coffee and tea, is another sorbent that reduces the absorption of the active substances of the drug.
Kissel and soda on the stop list
Kissel and carbonated water coat the tablet and slow down the absorption of active substances. At the same time, gas bubbles accelerate the penetration of the drug into the blood, which threatens an overdose.
The Dangers of Grapefruit Juice
Also, don't take statins and blood pressure medications with grapefruit juice. The bad combination can cause more side effects.
For reference
A beverage is a liquid intended for drinking.
