Medicine and food-the inevitable relationship!

The most important relationship for the effectiveness of the medication is the relationship between common medications, the most common human activity-eating the food. In other words, the relationship between medicine and food.

Most of the drugs, and of course the popular medicines, given through the digestive system. Therefore, the most important relationship of the effectiveness of the medication is the relationship between common medications, the most common human activity-eating food. In other words, the relationship between medicine and food.



Antibiotics.

"Plum after meals" are probably the most common in the case of antibiotics, but in certain types of antibiotics, the reverse is true. Acceptable linking treatment with antibiotics taken by mouth meals for several reasons:



1. Since the meals are usually a daily event comes with fixed time differences, linking the drug to a meal reduces the risk of forgetting to take the pill at the right time. In the case of antibiotics, keep taking all doses in full and on time, particularly important: do not keep taking the drug increases the risk of development of resistant strains of bacteria in your body.



2. the prevailing view in the scientific community (which has not been proven scientifically completely) is that taking the medication with a meal reduces some of the side effects. This concerns in particular the side effects associated with the digestive system (side effects that characterize all kinds of antibiotics).



However, there are a group of antibiotics that can be excluded from this rule. These medications are of type Quad rings, which include aldoxisayklin, Tetra-tskline, almonotsklin and others. These medications should be taken with an interval of at least two hours of the meal. And these instructions for several reasons.



First, these drugs treat the upper sphincter in the stomach, the stomach contents prevention function of the ascent into the esophagus. As the contents of the stomach too acidic, upward into the esophagus damages the lining of the esophagus is relatively sensitive (which sometimes appears as a feeling of heartburn). It is therefore important to maintain separation between eat and take medicines Quad loops even if never collaborating heartburn.

By the way, for this exact reason recommended to drink water and avoid lying down after taking medicines Quad loops.



Second, medicines Quad loops are absorbed less when there are certain ions, including calcium, iron, magnesium, etc. As these ions exist in almost every kind of food, preferably already chapter as possible between them.



Iron.

More examples that reflect the relationship of medicine and food is iron deficiency. most common cause of anemia is iron deficiency. As a result, many patients, especially women of child-bearing age, they bequeath by taking iron supplements regularly.



Iron administration through the digestive system is more secure than the vein. But, on the contrary taken intravenously, which absorbs all the iron in the bloodstream, iron absorption that takes by mouth is largely influenced by the presence of other essential foods in the same meal. For example, the acidic environment helps in the absorption of iron. Acid found in citrus fruits, some types of cranberry, lemon, vinegar and salt until the vitamin C helps iron absorption. However, not all acid helps the absorption of iron. Acid Betty Petey acid, found in soy for example, hinders the absorption of iron. Generally prefer soy intake on iron separation, because according to different studies, their influence to block the absorption of iron.



Well, the basic foods inhibit iron absorption through the mouth. These include dairy products, products containing soda. Also, drugs that reduce gastric acidity (such as allussac and his ilk, antihistamines, etc.) negatively affect the absorption of iron from food.



Other ingredients found in vegetables, tea, such as polypenols, significantly hamper the absorption of iron. Taking iron supplements with drinking tea with milk, for example, affect greatly the ability to absorb this supplement. If you take this supplement with a meal, try to be relatively acid meal (salad with lemon, for example) and a further period of time as possible from taking medicines which affect the acidity of the stomach.
