Information Q&A Q27 of medicine. Does food have an influence on medicine?

Answer

Food has an influence on a center action of medicine and a side effect, and they become strong in effect and become weak. A relation between food and medicine changes with the constitution, the symptom and the age of Mr. patient, so I'll have a doctor and a pharmacist advise.

Explanation

In eel, in pickled plum and water cucumber (watermelon), tempura, if, when saying, they're the "eating combination" which was often learned about from the past in other words the combination to which you say that stomach trouble is easy to have.

There seem to be no too clear bases in such eating combination, but there is something for which it's better to avoid eating together between the medicine and the food.

I make the effectiveness of the medicine strong in an ingredient of food and sometimes make it weak.

When the medicine which has to be careful of food is prescribed, there is advice from a doctor and a pharmacist, so when seeming alarmed, please ask me.

For example Fermented Soybeans is Mr. patient with myocardial infarction (infarct) and cerebral infarction and makes the blood difficult to harden, and there is a problem a little for the person taking medicine as naughty foreign to prevent a thrombus from forming.

There is an action with which blood is bound in the prothrombin factor included in Fermented Soybeans richly. This action will be an action opposite to naughty foreign, so the effect of the medicine becomes weak. It's because a fermented soybean bacterium keeps living at the interior of the body for a while, and prothrombin factor is being made one after another, that Fermented Soybeans becomes a problem in particular. When fermented soybeans is eaten once, influence is left for about 3 days. I have spinach and broccoli green and yellow vegetables in addition to the Fermented Soybeans in food including prothrombin factor. When these vegetables are also eaten so much, it'll be a problem.

The supplement used for purpose of healthy maintenance and increase and so-called healthy food sometimes have an influence on an action of medicine.

There is a report that vitamin B6, a folic acid, vitamin C and vitamin D with a lot of female use have an influence on the effect of the specific medicine by a supplement. Supplements are a capsule and the shape for which a tablet is easy to take, and moreover it seems a lot the person habituating oneself to an accepted thing, too. When prescribing medicine from doctor, please also speak to a doctor about the supplement which is being used daily.

So-called healthy food, like. It's reported that an extract, EPA, DHA, KOENZAIMU Q10 and Sweet false chamomile of a gingko leaf have an influence on specific medicine.

Thus by the one which is being usually eaten casually, with medicine, to eat each other, more, there is a possibility that a problem forms.

When prescribing medicine with a possibility that a problem by eating combination occurs, a doctor and a pharmacist should pay attention, but if I'm alarmed, please consult.
