YOUR MEDICATIONS AND DRINKS

One of the most common questions patients ask me 👇
"Pharm, can I take my Medications with SOFT DRINKS ?"

#ANSWER : it's NOT advisable to take your medications with Soft drinks UNLESS recommended by your Pharmacist.

LET ME EXPLAIN 👇

A Thread Image
( 1.) Soft drinks are Carbonated water (carbonic #ACID + water).

- The ACID can render the drug "in or Less active" leading to sub-optimal clinical outcome.

- Soft drinks doesn't REALLY cause Ulcer but for can cause some ERODING effects on Ulcer patients & those with history
of Ulcer due to the Phosphoric acid & Carbonic acids present.

The ACID can also worsen the symptoms of Ulcer (such as bloating, stomach fullness, stomach irritation).

Taking Such Drinks with AntiUlcer medications can make such drugs abit less effective.
