Always research your condition and consult with a doctor.
Have you noticed some medications stop working after a few days? It might not be the medication but the food you eat.
Certain foods can prevent medications from working or cause dangerous side effects. Here are six combinations to avoid:
1. Bananas and Anti-hypertensive Drugs
Both increase potassium levels, leading to irregular heartbeat and heart conditions.
2. Vitamin C and Anti-malaria Drugs
Vitamin C aids iron absorption, which malaria parasites thrive on, counteracting malaria medication.
3. Painkillers and Soft Drinks
Carbonated water increases drug concentration in your blood, leading to toxicity. Use plain water instead.
4. Dairy Products and Antibiotics
Calcium in dairy hinders antibiotic absorption, reducing effectiveness.
5. Grapefruit and Statins
Grapefruit prevents statin breakdown, increasing drug levels and side effects.
6. Leafy Vegetables and Anticoagulants
Vitamin K in leafy greens promotes blood clotting, counteracting blood thinners.
