Warning Water May Reduce Medication Efficacy
A study has warned that some types of water, especially alkaline mineral-rich water, may cause the protective coating of certain medications—designed to resist stomach acid—to break down. This could lead to the medications losing their effectiveness within 5 to 30 minutes of contact. The results showed that tap water and acidic water had less effect on the stability of the medications, with confirmation that most medications do not specify which type of liquid should be used when taking them. It is recommended to consult a doctor or pharmacist before taking such medications with any type of water.
