Medication period diet

If you are taking certain medications, pay attention to your diet, because improper diet may endanger your health.

After oral administration of drugs, most drugs enter the small intestine from the stomach and are immediately absorbed by the blood. Experts say that after taking medicine, if it happens that food or some kind of supplement stays in the gastrointestinal tract, then the absorption of the drug by the human body will have two kinds of results: First, the reduction will be strengthened. "Generally speaking, foods in the stomach and intestines hinder the absorption of drugs, so the use of drugs after meals is much less effective than taking meals before meals. In fact, most drugs can be quickly and fully utilized when taken on an empty stomach. However, there are some medicines that can relieve gastrointestinal irritation after meals, for example, taking aspirin after meals and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as indomethacin can reduce the adverse effects of the drug on the body. Taking medication after meals can also increase the efficacy of certain drugs. Some drug instructions include: “After meals, three times a day, two tablets at a time.” Because gastric juice promotes the decomposition of certain drugs and allows them to enter. The small intestine can be quickly absorbed by the blood and taken to all parts of the body, as is the effect of antifungal drugs such as griseofulvin after meals.

Some kind of compound or vitamins and inorganic substances contained in food can produce dangerous chemical reactions when mixed with different drugs. Monoamine Oxidase inhibitor is an antidepressant drug. When mixed with foods containing cheese, it can cause headaches, rapid blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, and even severe strokes.

Vitamins and minerals can also affect the biotransformation of drugs, so we should pay more attention when choosing supplements or foods rich in certain vitamins. If a woman takes anticoagulant medication to treat vascular disease, but soon the doctor found that the normal dose of the drug did not work for her. It turns out that the woman had to eat some cauliflower every day for many years. The vitamin K rich in this kind of food has the effect of promoting the production of clotting factors, which reduces the efficacy of anticoagulants.

Of course, drugs also affect the body's absorption of nutrients. If you are taking cholesterol-lowering drugs to eliminate gallbladder, your doctor may suggest that you take vitamins A, D, E, and K at the same time, because the drug can prevent the body from absorbing vitamins. Similarly, long-term use of a diuretic can cause potassium deficiency in humans and should be supplemented appropriately.

In addition, different ways of cooking can also affect the efficacy, common meat such as baked with charcoal can accelerate the biotransformation of theophylline (the treatment of asthma), that is, the drug is excreted before the best effect. Excessive intake of caffeine, smoking, or drinking can have many adverse effects on medication. If a patient had symptoms of nausea, headache and anxiety after taking tea, he would drink coffee every day, and caffeine could enhance the drug's side effects.

The same is true of smoking, especially when it comes to oral contraceptives, smoking increases the risk of heart disease, especially for women over 35. Alcohol drinking is harmful to medications. For example, mixed alcohol and aspirin can cause stomach bleeding. Mixing with diabetes drugs can counteract the hypoglycemic effect; and antihistamines, sedation, or analgesia. Tea tear eyes can cause serious drug poisoning and so on. Experts believe that drugs and alcohol are sometimes used to produce abnormal results. If some people are making long-distance travel, in order to make their own people sleep, they love to take sedative drugs and sigh and stability, and drink shortly after taking the drug, the result is drowsiness, wake up and remember what happened. The reason is that this drug and alcohol mixture will cause temporary amnesia.
