Many people have the habit of eating fruit every day. The fruit can not be eaten at any time, it is best not to eat before taking the medicine.
Dr. Wei Minji, Ph.D. from the Institute of Clinical Pharmacology at Peking University, told the Life Times reporter that, first of all, most fruits contain citric acid and malic acid, which change the acid-base environment in the intestine and indirectly affect the drug's action.
Second, there are some components in the fruit that interfere with the metabolic enzymes in the body, which reduces the activity of drug-metabolizing enzymes and increases the drug concentration in the body, causing adverse reactions.
Again, fruits generally contain more minerals, such as calcium and magnesium ions, which are detrimental to drug absorption and have a greater impact when taking drugs that are sensitive to minerals, such as quinolones.
Finally, unripe fruits contain large amounts of organic acids, and the use of acid-sensitive drugs with these fruits may result in complete or partial failure of the drug.
Therefore, Wei Minji suggested that it is advisable not to eat fruit 1-2 hours before and after taking the medicine.
