How long after taking western medicine can I drink tea?

After the drug enters the human body, there will be a process of absorption, from the time point of view, about one to two hours, the components of the drug have basically been absorbed by the body, and give full play to its effect. After this time period, tea can be drunk.

Although tea is rich in nutrients, it contains tannic acid and theophylline, so it is best not to mix it with medicine, that is, to take medicine without tea, or to drink tea at certain intervals.

Guidance: After taking Western medicine, it is best to drink tea after an hour. Because it takes a certain amount of time for the drug to be decomposed and digested in the stomach, it is generally excreted from the stomach after an hour, so as to ensure the effective absorption of the drug.

Drinking tea after an hour interval has less effect on the drug, and the tea should not be too strong.

Two hours after taking the medicine, the drug has already been absorbed through the small intestine, so there will be no antidote.

In the same way, you can take medicine one hour after drinking tea, because tea can be absorbed in just one hour.

Not necessarily, depending on what medicine you take, if the tea doesn't break it down, you can drink it boldly. If it will decompose, you'd better wait for the drug to take effect.

Depending on what medicine you take, you can drink it after the blood concentration reaches its peak! But it's better to drink plain water!

It depends on what type of medicine you are taking. Capsules and tablets generally dissolve slowly, stay in the stomach for a long time, and do not drink tea within 2 hours before and after taking the medicine.

If it contains chemical tablets, liquid drugs and granules, the dissolution and absorption speed is very fast, and it is okay not to drink tea within 1 hour before and after taking the medicine.

If it is a long-term sustained-release capsule or a pancreatic islet device similar to that carried by diabetics, please ask your doctor before drinking tea.

It is best to drink tea after taking the medicine after 3 hours, because it takes about this long for the body to digest and absorb. It is best not to drink tea during the period of taking the medicine to prevent it from affecting the drug**. In addition, even if you drink tea, it should not be too strong, which is very harmful to the stomach and intestines, and it is easy to cause ulcers.

Tea taboos: 1. Don't drink strong tea: strong tea will increase the "excitability" of the human body excessively, which will have adverse effects on the cardiovascular system and nervous system. People with cardiovascular disease may experience rapid heartbeat or even irregular heartbeat after drinking strong tea, resulting in recurrence of the condition.

2. Don't drink tea before going to bed: Don't drink tea before going to bed. This is even more important for early tea drinkers. Many people drink tea before going to bed, and it becomes very difficult to fall asleep, and even seriously affects the mental state of the next day. This is especially true for people with neurasthenia or insomnia.

3. Don't drink a lot of tea during meals: It is okay to drink a small amount of tea before or during a meal, but if you drink a lot of tea or drink too strong tea, it will affect the absorption of many macro elements (such as calcium, etc.) and trace elements (such as iron, zinc, etc.).

Special care should be taken not to drink tea at the same time as milk or other dairy products. Theophylline and tannins in tea will combine with calcium in dairy products to form calcium salts that are insoluble in water, and are excreted from the body, greatly reducing the nutritional value of dairy products.
