What you need to know for a healthy life: Is it true that antibiotics can't drink tea and water?

Drinking tea is a traditional habit of the Chinese nation and an important part of a healthy life. Drinking tea for a long time has many benefits to the body, such as blood lipid, blood pressure, digestion, anti-aging and so on. Similarly, because tea contains tea polyphenols, tea polysaccharides, tea saponin and other substances, tea should not be taken with a variety of drugs. However, there is a drug that is misunderstood by everyone, and that is antibiotics. So can I drink tea after taking antibiotics?

It is generally believed that drugs can not be eaten with tea, because tannic acid contained in tea may react with drugs, thus reducing the efficacy of drugs.

However, in the 1990s, Japanese scholars found that this view was denied. Similarly, the Institute of Pharmacology, School of Medicine, Shantou University, China, also made a similar study, which also proved this point of view, and was published in the March 20 10 issue of China Journal of Antibiotics.

The research object in the experiment is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which is one of the superbugs we know. The material is tea extract (i.e. tea).

1. Almost all tea leaves, including green tea, white tea, green tea, black tea and black tea, have certain antibacterial effects on MRSA, among which green tea and white tea have the strongest antibacterial effects. At the same time, the study also found that this effect is related to whether the tea is fermented, and the tea without fermentation is stronger than the fermented tea.

2. Penicillin and ceftazidime have obvious enhancement effect. In other words, it is beneficial for us to eat cephalosporin and drink tea at the same time.

3. It has no effect on erythromycin.

4. It can weaken ciprofloxacin. Then all quinolones (what is common and what is ofloxacin) may not be suitable for drinking tea.

So it is not entirely correct to say that babies can't drink tea and take antibiotics at the same time. Drinking tea when taking anti-inflammatory drugs has no effect. It is best not to drink tea when using certain ofloxacin.

Ps: Friends who like to drink especially strong tea and friends who like to drink broken tea and tea powder have not found relevant experimental evidence yet. Considering the high content of metal ions in strong tea, broken tea will be adsorbed in tea powder, Hongyan suggested not to use this tea to take medicine.
