    No.

    The reasons are as follows: drugs to cure diseases, health care products to improve the physical state, and rational use, both of which serve health, but there are certain risks in taking health care products and drugs at the same time. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns that improper mixing of drugs and health supplements is not only detrimental to the treatment of diseases, but can also be dangerous.

    For example, fish oil can help inhibit platelet aggregation, which is conducive to the prevention and alleviation of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. However, the risk of bleeding may increase when fish oil is taken during the use of warfarin and aspirin, and when mixed with heparin and warfarin, it will affect each other and reduce the effect. In order to prevent the interaction between the two, it is recommended to take the supplement separately 1 to 2 hours apart, or follow the doctor's advice to appropriately reduce or stop the supplement.

    Any kind of health care product, as long as it is certified by the word "health", has a certain effect. However, take it with medicine and take it 30 minutes apart.

    Even if you take two supplements together, take 30 minutes apart. Because the efficacy is different.

    The effect of health care products can only be seen with perseverance, while drugs are ready-to-act.

    It can be taken together, and there is no definite evidence on the efficacy and prevention of health products for diseases!

    The national batch number of health care products is [health food and health words], that is, health food, and drugs basically have no contraindications, if you are sick, you should go to the hospital in time**, the so-called prevention and ** role of health care products is actually the same as the vegetables and fruits and other foods we eat in our daily life! Because I'm a doctor.

    It depends on what kind of illness the aunt has!

    If it is a cold, tonic things should not be eaten, because they hinder the "divergent" effect of the drug in the ** process, so it is not allowed.

    In addition, it depends on what kind of medicine the aunt is taking, if it is a traditional Chinese medicine, there may be a contraindication for compatibility, although the probability is very small, but the course of traditional Chinese medicine is long, the effect is slow, I am afraid that it is toxic, so it is best not to use.

    Again, depending on the length of the condition, if it is an acute disease, some supplements can be added appropriately during the recovery period, which can make the condition recover faster, and produce resistance, which can prevent **; If it is a chronic disease that requires long-term medication, then you should see if the health supplement you are taking is in line with your condition and can be added or changed appropriately.

    Final suggestion: If you are afraid of trouble, stop the health care products first, and you will be fine if you eat less for a few days.

    1.Antibiotics + lactic acid bacteria.

    Antibiotics can reasonably destroy harmful pathogenic bacteria in everyone. However, if you are taking antibiotics, it is recommended that you do not need to take lactic acid bacteria for the time being. Lactic acid bacteria are beneficial to reduce the symptoms of diarrhea and constipation in the body, which is beneficial to health.

    However, if antibiotics and lactic acid bacteria are used together, the antibiotic will destroy the same lactic acid bacteria, and conversely, the lactic acid bacteria will also reduce the effectiveness of the antibiotic. However, if you only need to take lactic acid bacteria after the antibiotic treatment is completed or after the antibiotic has been digested and absorbed by the body (2 hours after application), there is no problem.

    2.Antidepressants + brewer's yeast.

    If you are already taking antidepressant drugs - monoamine oxidase inhibitors, it is recommended not to take health supplements with brewer's yeast. This is because the tyramine ingredient contained in brewer's yeast is mainly dissolved by the monoamine oxidase in the human body, if the two are taken together, tyramine will not be able to obtain reasonable dissolution, digestion and absorption, which may cause vasoconstriction, increase blood pressure in the body, cause headaches and other diseases.

    3.Antiarrhythmic drugs + hypericin.

    If you have already taken anti-arrhythmic drugs due to symptoms such as tachycardiac heart rate or irregular heart rate, it is recommended that you do not need to take health products containing hypericin. Hypericin is used to alleviate and treat women's menopausal and depression and other conditions. If the two are taken together, it will accelerate the activity of drug metabolism enzymes in the human body, accelerate the whole process of drug metabolism, and reduce the drug power of anti-arrhythmic drugs.

    4.Anti-osteoporotic + magnesium and copper supplements.

    If osteoporosis is diagnosed due to decreased bone mineral density on ultrasound, it is recommended to prevent the intake of magnesium and copper supplements while taking medication for treatment. Because this type of creatine monohydrate contains substances that can jeopardize the full exertion of the previous drug. If it is absolutely necessary, it is recommended to wait one to two hours between the anti-osteoporotic drugs before taking this type of creatine monohydrate.

    5.Anticoagulants + - 3 unsaturated fats.

    Anticoagulants, to put it bluntly, can reasonably block the whole process of clotting at the night of blood. However, -3 unsaturated fats also have the effect of lowering blood lipids and left ventricular capillaries. If the two are taken at the same time, it will cause insufficient blood clotting factors, and once a wound occurs, there will be a risk of bleeding.

    After the accident, if the bleeding cannot be quickly relieved during the emergency surgery** process, the risk of the operation will be increased. (

    If it is necessary to use it after being assessed by a physician or pharmacist, it is safe to use more than 4 types with correct combination and use. However, it is still recommended that before choosing a new health supplement, it is best to bring all the medicines and health products you are currently taking, and consult a doctor or professional pharmacist for advice before taking it for more protection.

    In fact, under normal circumstances, people can supplement enough essential nutrients in their daily diet as long as they eat a balanced diet and consume sufficient fruits and vegetables, and there is no need to supplement them by taking health foods. However, if you often eat out, have irregular work and rest, nutritional imbalance, or have sub-health problems, you can supplement moderately according to your personal needs.

    You can't take supplements all the time. As a nutritional supplement, health care products play a preventive role, which can improve immunity, enhance physical fitness, and prevent diseases. It is recommended that health supplements can be taken occasionally, but not all the time.

    After all, it is a medicine that is poisonous.

    Brief introduction of health care products:Health products are a popular term for health foods. Article 16740-97 of the General Standard for Health (Functional) Foods defines health food as:

    Health (functional) food is a type of food, which has the commonality of general food, can regulate the functions of the human body, and is suitable for specific groups of people to eat, but not for the purpose of disease. ”

    Therefore, in the promotion of products, there can be no related words such as efficiency and success rate. The health care role of health food is gradually being accepted by the masses in today's society. Health products are the general name of Chinese mainland, and other regions are generally called:

    Dietary supplements.

    Hello, copy.

    Many health products can be taken at the same time, but this point still needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. A relatively simple way to think about it is to ask yourself, is this supplement available from food every day or can be synthesized in the human body? For example, vitamin C, iron, calcium, and fish oil may be contained in the food we eat every day, so these vitamins can generally be safely taken together.

    Because when you eat, these elements are absolutely impossible to ingest strictly separately, and since there is no problem with daily dietary intake, then there is no problem with intake through health supplements.

    For example, some health products may not be eaten in our daily diet, especially some herbal ingredients: such as liver protection tablets (the main ingredient is milk thistle), chasteberry, etc., these health products need special attention. We usually recommend that you consult a medical professional, but if you really need to make your own judgment, there is an easier way to take it at the wrong time.

    For example, if you are eating Swisse's collagen tablets, liver protection tablets and grape seeds, these three manufacturers recommend taking them with meals, so if you just eat collagen tablets after breakfast, save the liver protection tablets for lunch, and save the grape seeds for dinner to eat, so that you can avoid potential conflicts with health products.

    Buy a lot of actinide health care.

    Food can only have a supporting effect, and it needs to be taken for a long time to have an effect.

    These can be eaten together, and they all belong to the general health food and do not belong to the category of strengthening.

    Based on the symptoms you said, I recommend you also buy vitamin CAs for melatonin and spirulina, you don't have to buy it.

    That collagen is not suitable for your age to eat, and it can supplement calcium appropriately, which is good for your sleep.

    The most important thing is to correct the rules of life and rest, health food is not as advertised, and people now have misunderstandings about this. It only acts as a supplemental supplement when your body is deficient in a certain substance.

    You're 25 years old, and you're better at absorbing vitamins and minerals from all kinds of foods, but it's a different story if you don't eat regularly. It is still recommended that you eat supplements.

    I won't say much nonsense, by the way, it's not that the higher the price, the better the health product, the main thing is to look at the content. The ordinary ones bought outside, even the kind of 2 or 3 yuan are not necessarily better than big brands such as Amway. When I was still training as a dietitian, there was a special topic on this.

    Finally, the body is your own, and you should be kind to it when you are young. Eating too much health food now will not help you in the future.

    In particular, you can find collagen spirochids and add some health products to assist sleep, such as sour jujube kernels. In fact, I think propolis is suitable for people over 30 years old, and the effect is better. If you are so young, if you pay attention to diet and sleep, the effect will be better, if you have too much stomach acid, you can drink more pure milk (milk with an egg is nutritious and healthy), and use the food after heating.

    I wish you a speedy one**.

    It is recommended not to take health products while taking cold medicine. Because cold medicines are often antiviral or anti-inflammatory cephalosporins or penicillin drugs. They are prone to some allergies or anaphylactic shock symptoms.

    The composition of health care products is actually different, and the ingredients and dosage cannot be completely determined. It is easy to cause drug interactions, and even cause liver and kidney damage.
