Medicines and juice

[Benn]

Not all juices are equally good. It has been discovered that consuming a lot of grapefruit/apple/orange juice during a medical treatment can obviously reduce the treatment's effectiveness. Earlier, doctors considered juice consumption a welcomed act during a treatment.
You can even notice that some medicine instructions state they are not compatible with the C vitamin. It firstly concerns antibiotics.
The vitamin C contains elements that simply block the penetration of certain medicines inside the blood.
An experiment was carried on: 20 volunteers offered to take antiallergic medicine (MHH fexofenadine) and 10 of them were simultaneously given to drink grapefruit juice and the other 10 water. The medicine showed its 100% effect on the volunteers that drank water, while 9 of the volunteers who drank juice were detected to have been received only 50% of the effect.
So, two advices here: either you read your medicine instructions carefully and see if it's compatible with the C vitamin
or
choose to treat yourself only by juices and fruits. This is even better than taking medicines. It's natural.

so what is the conclusion? I know exactly that we can't consume alcohol when we take pills, and now we can't take even juice? Hmm... well I don't know about that, but in this case I think it's better not to take medicines at all

Very interesting and surprising facts. But I don't really believe this. To drink juice is very healthy, they contain a lot of vitamins which are necessary for the organism during the illness. If the organism receives vitamins it is able to fight the microbes.

It turns out that grapefruit juice can directly or indirectly interact in important ways with a number of medications. This is especially important since grapefruit juice is consumed by approximately one fifth of Americans for breakfast - a time of the day when medications also are commonly taken.

Grapefruit juice blocks special enzymes in the wall of the small intestine that actually destroys many medications and prevents their absorption into the body. Thus, smaller amounts of the drugs get into the body than are ingested. When the action of this enzyme is blocked, more of the drugs get into the body and the blood levels of these medications increase. This can lead to toxic side effects from the medications.

Glad to be useful! is very true and you should know it! are some products that eat together do not allow your body to assimilate some elements exactly how it is in the case of juice and pills! I never have heard doctors say that the pills are drinking with juice! they are telling to drink juice cause it contains vitamins that help restore your immunity! But pills are drinking only with water!

[tricker]

Benn is absolutely right. No doctor will recommend to drink pills with juice. Juice is useful but better to avoid cases of drinking pills with juice uper

Hello!
Having medicine and juice is a regular interval in human life
without them no one can live
Grapefruit Juice Can Interact With Medicines!
A nutraceutical is a food or part of a food that allegedly provides medicinal or health benefits, including the prevention and treatment of disease. Grapefruit juice has been touted as containing many compounds that can reduce hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) and even the risk of cancer. Grapefruit juice can, therefore, be justifiably referred to as a classic nutraceutical. However, for many persons taking certain medications, grapefruit juice might actually better be termed a "nutrapollutical!"

I think that the natural juices can replace drugs, because they contain natural vitamins which concentrates replace medicinal chemistry. Medicine can be replaced only with natural juices in some cases. but not with juice as Fanta, Sprite, Coca-Cola. natural juice in my opinion are the best medicine
