14 common foods that make drugs toxic

Aside from the fact that "a lot of seafood turns into arsenic when combined with vitamin C" (vitamin C is not a medicine), foodism has little research on the relationship between drugs and food. Originally, take a medicine also have to pay attention to diet collocation!

1. Any drug -- smoke

Do not smoke for 30 minutes after taking any medication. Because nicotine accelerates the rate at which the liver degrades the drug, the concentration of the drug in the blood is insufficient, making it difficult to fully exert its effects. The test confirmed that smoking within 30 minutes after taking the drug reduced the blood drug concentration to about 1/20 of that of non-smoking.

2. Calcium tablets - Spinach

Spinach contains a lot of potassium oxalate, after entering the human body electrolytic oxalate ions will precipitate calcium ions, not only hinder the body's absorption of calcium, but also easy to generate calcium oxalate stones. Experts recommend that you do not eat spinach within 2 hours before and after taking calcium tablets, or boil spinach first, until the potassium oxalate is dissolved in water, and then pour the water away.

3. Anti-allergy medicine - cheese, meat products

Avoid eating foods rich in histidine such as cheese and meat products while taking anti-allergy medications. Because histidine is converted into histamine in the human body, and anti-allergy drugs inhibit histamine decomposition, thus causing histamine accumulation in the human body, inducing dizziness, headache, palpitation and other uncomfortable symptoms.

4. Anti-diarrheal medicine -- milk

Take anti-diarrhea medication and do not drink milk. Because milk not only reduces the efficacy of anti-diarrheal drugs, the lactose component it contains is also easy to aggravate diarrhea symptoms.

5. Bitter stomachic -- sweet

Bitter stomachic drugs rely on bitter taste to stimulate the secretion of saliva, gastric juices and other digestive fluids, promote appetite and help digestion. On the one hand, the sweet ingredients cover up the bitter taste and reduce the efficacy. On the other hand, the sweet ingredients also react with many ingredients in stomachic drugs to reduce the content of their effective ingredients.

6. Diuretics -- bananas, oranges

When you take a diuretic, potassium gets stuck in the blood. If you eat potassium-rich bananas and oranges at the same time, potassium accumulation in the body is more serious, and it is easy to induce complications in heart and blood pressure.

7. Vitamin C - Shrimp

Do not eat shrimp for 2 hours before and after taking vitamin C. Because the copper rich in shrimp will oxidize vitamin C, making it ineffective; At the same time, the arsenic pentavalent component in shrimp will also react with vitamin C to produce toxic "arsenic trivalent".

8. Nourishing Chinese medicine -- radish

Nourishing Chinese medicine through tonifying qi, and then nourishing the whole body qi and blood Yin and Yang, and radish has the effect of breaking qi, will greatly weaken the tonifying effect, so during the taking of nourishing Chinese medicine to avoid eating radish.

9. Grapefruit juice, a blood pressure medication

Do not drink grapefruit juice while taking blood pressure medication. Because the naringenin component of grapefruit juice affects the function of a certain enzyme in the liver, and this enzyme is related to the metabolism of antihypertensive drugs, it will cause the concentration of drugs in the blood to be too high, and the side effects will be greatly increased.

10. Multi-enzyme tablets - Hot water

Enzyme is the active ingredient of digestive aid drugs such as multi-enzyme tablets. This active protein of enzyme solidifies after hot water and loses its due digestive aid effect. Therefore, it is best to take multi-enzyme tablets with low temperature water.

11. Antibiotics - milk, juice

Do not drink milk or juice within 2 hours of taking antibiotics. Because milk can reduce the activity of antibiotics, so that the full effect of the drug is not full; The fruit acids rich in fruit juice (especially fresh fruit juice) accelerate the dissolution of antibiotics, which not only reduces the efficacy, but also may generate harmful intermediates and increase toxic side effects.

12. Aspirin -- wine, juice

After entering the body, wine needs to be oxidized to acetaldehyde, which is further oxidized to acetic acid. Aspirin prevents acetaldehyde oxidation to acetic acid, causing acetaldehyde accumulation in the human body, which not only aggravates fever and systemic pain symptoms, but also easily causes liver damage. Juice can aggravate the stimulation of aspirin on gastric mucosa and induce gastric bleeding.

13. Berberine -- Tea

Tea contains about 10% tannin, which is broken down in the human body into tannic acid, which precipitates the alkaloids in berberine, greatly reducing its efficacy. Therefore, do not drink tea within 2 hours before and after taking berberine.

14. Ibuprofen -- Coffee, Cola

Ibuprofen (Fenbeide) has a large irritant to the gastric mucosa, caffeine contained in coffee and cocaine contained in cola will stimulate the secretion of gastric acid, so it will aggravate the toxic side effects of ibuprofen on the gastric mucosa, and even induce stomach bleeding and stomach perforation.
