Be careful with plums and bananas when taking high blood pressure medication, and avoid these when taking arthritis medication.
 

For patients with chronic diseases who must take medication daily, dietary management is important. Depending on the ingredients of the medicine, it may cause the body to expel nutrients or cause side effects due to excessive nutrients.

 

Chronic diseases commonly suffered by middle-aged and older adults include high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, and osteoporosis. For each chronic condition, caution is required regarding food intake depending on the medications taken.

 

First, if you suffer from high blood pressure, you may take dihydropyridine-based antihypertensive drugs to lower your blood pressure. Drinking grape juice, cranberry juice, or apple juice with medication may cause a side effect of a sudden drop in blood pressure. This is because flavonoids increase drug absorption. If you are taking potassium-sparing diuretics, you should avoid eating large amounts of plums, bananas, and oranges, which are high in potassium. This can lead to hyperkalemia.

Metformin, which is prescribed to most diabetic patients, inhibits the absorption of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause fatigue, difficulty walking, and pain. Vitamin B12 supplementation is recommended. Vitamin B12 can be obtained from lean meats, milk, and eggs. If dietary intake is difficult, taking a nutritional supplement is also an option. Furthermore, alcohol consumption while taking metformin increases lactic acid metabolism, which increases the risk of cancer, so alcohol consumption should be avoided.

 

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) taken by arthritis patients also interact with alcohol. Excessive alcohol consumption while taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can lead to gastrointestinal bleeding. Bisphosphonates, used by patients with osteoporosis, can also be poorly absorbed when taken with milk, orange juice, or coffee. If you take calcium supplements for bone health, avoid taking them with teas containing tannins, such as green tea or black tea, as they interfere with calcium absorption. Receive.
