Drug Interactions
1 OTC [over the counter] and prescription drugs can interact in a variety of ways. For example, mixing some cold medications with tranquilizers can cause drowsiness and coordination problems, thus making driving dangerous. Moreover, what you eat or drink can impair or completely wipe out the effectiveness of drugs or lead to unexpected effects on the body. For instance, aspirin takes five to ten times as long to be absorbed when taken with food or shortly after a meal than when taken on an empty stomach. If tetracyclines encounter calcium in the stomach, they bind together and cancel each other out.
2 To avoid potentially dangerous interactions, check the label(s) for any instructions on how or when to take a medication, such as “with a meal.” If the directions say that you should take a drug on an empty stomach, take it at least one hour before eating or two or three hours after eating. Don’t drink a hot beverage with a medication; the temperature may interfere with the effectiveness of the drug.
3 Whenever you take a drug, be especially careful of your intake of alcohol, which can change the rate of metabolism and the effects of many different drugs. Because it dilates the blood vessels, alcohol can add to the dizziness sometimes caused by drugs for high blood pressure, angina, or depression. Also, its irritating effects on the stomach can worsen stomach upset from aspirin, ibuprofen, and other anti-inflammatory drugs.
