Can I drink tea before taking medicine
Can I drink tea before taking medicine? No. Tea contains a substance called tannic acid, which may react with certain substances in the medicine and affect the absorption of the medicine.
It is recommended to drink tea one hour before taking medicine so that the body can fully absorb the substances in the tea and it will not affect the efficacy of the medicine.
Some medicines will react with tea, while others will not. Tea may react with painkillers, antibiotics, and antihypertensive drugs. We are not professionals and cannot provide more professional answers.
To ensure the efficacy of the medicine, try not to drink tea before taking the medicine.
You can use mineral or boiled water to take medicine for better results.
