I agree, most of the time we wash down pills or vitamins with whatever we have on hand – be it plain water, coffee or juices. But did you know that combining medications with anything other than drinking water is extremely dangerous? We tell you what can happen if you take the tablets with tea or coffee.
According to doctors, any medicine should be taken with water as it serves as an excellent medium for chemical reactions between compounds. However, tea, juice, coffee and other beverages contain substances that may interact with some medications. As a result, the drug may become stronger or weaker, its effect may change, or even become toxic. Also remember that you cannot take your pills with alcohol.
In addition, it is not recommended to take medications with mineral water, as mineral water contains components that can react chemically with medications and cause negative reactions.
