Food and Drug interactions:

Be careful what you take your meds with.

  • Don’t mix grapefruit with your meds because it can be a toxic combination by raising the level of some medications in the blood.
  • Calcium-rich dairy products or antiacids can prevent antibiotics from being properly absorbed into the bloodstream.
  • Ginkgo biloba can reduce the effectiveness of blood-thinning medications,  raising the risk of a stroke.
  • Don’t mix alcohol with meds.

Inform a pharmacist, doctor or professional caregiver of any problems with indigestion, rashes, dizziness or other.
