Effects of coffee or tea on medication absorption

Taking medications with beverages other than water can negatively affect their effectiveness and lead to harmful interactions. Coffee may reduce the absorption of drugs such as thyroid hormones and osteoporosis medications, accelerate the metabolism of certain antidepressants and blood pressure medications, and enhance the effects of some stimulant drugs like asthma medications and decongestants. Grapefruit juice interferes with the metabolism of many drugs, including cholesterol and blood pressure medications, causing their levels in the blood to rise and increasing the risk of side effects. As for tea, especially green and black tea, it interacts with blood thinners, iron supplements, and sedative medications, potentially slowing down the effectiveness of some drugs. The best practice is always to drink water with medications and avoid coffee and juices that may have potential interactions, maintaining a gap of at least 4 hours between consuming juices and taking medications.
