Can Be Dangerous For The Body, Recognize Drugs That Can't Be Accompanied

JAKARTA - Morning is often synonymous with the tantalizing aroma of coffee, a ritual that many people get part of starting the day. However, behind the joy and enthusiasm brought by a cup of coffee, it turns out that there is a surprising potential interaction when coffee is combined with certain drugs. Some drugs can lose their effectiveness, even the risk of side effects can increase, an important thing that deserves to be known to anyone who regularly drinks coffee while taking drugs.

For those of you or those closest to you to take medication, both for thyroid, asthma, osteoporosis, and other chronic conditions, be careful before taking coffee in the morning. Here are a number of types of drugs that should not be taken with coffee and scientific reasons, according to the WebMD page, Tuesday, December 2.

The drug for thyroid, such as Levothyroxine, is one of the most common examples. If consumed along with coffee, the absorption of drugs in the body can be drastically reduced even by more than 50 percent. This means that the body receives far fewer thyroid hormones than needed, and the effects of treatment can also slow down or not optimally.

Furthermore, drugs for osteoporosis such as Alendronate or Risedronate are also included. This drug from the bisphonate class should ideally be drunk only with water, not coffee or other drinks. Consuming coffee with this drug can inhibit absorption so that its effectiveness decreases, so that the goal of strengthening the bone becomes less than optimal.

Then there are medicines for people with asthma or allergies. Many colds, allergies, or broncodillators contain stimulants such as Pseudoephedrine. Because coffee also contains caffeine, natural stimulants, mixing both can strengthen stimulant effects: the body can feel symptoms such as palpitations, anxiety, or difficulty sleeping. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid coffee if you are taking this class of drugs.

In addition, medication for blood pressure can be affected when taken at the same time as coffee. Caffeine can interfere with the absorption of several types of antihypertension drugs, so that their properties are reduced. For people with hypertension, this can inhibit blood pressure control.

No less important, for users of mental medicine, such as antidepressants and antipsychotics, it is necessary to be careful. Coffee can affect drug metabolism, making it not optimally absorbed or even strengthening caffeine side effects: such as anxiety, anxiety, and sleep disorders.

On the other hand, the caffeine content in coffee can also slow the blood's ability to freeze. So, if you take blood dilution drugs (anticoagulan), mixing coffee can increase the risk of bleeding or bruises.

It doesn't mean you have to stop drinking coffee at all, but it's important to be wise in determining time. Many experts suggest: give a break between taking time off for drugs and drinking coffee, or consult a doctor or pharmacist to make sure it's safe if you want to enjoy coffee.

By understanding the potential for this interaction, you can continue to enjoy coffee without sacrificing the effectiveness of treatment, as long as it is done with full awareness.
