Can I drink tea during taking medicine?
1, it is best not to drink tea during taking medicine, because tea contains a lot of tannic acid, which can react chemically with many drugs. For example, quinine and soda contain alkali, which can't be dissolved in acid, absorbed by human body and can't give full play to their functions.

2. You can only take medicine with boiled water, not tonic with tea, and you can't swallow it with tea. Because tonic generally contains iron, it will not only lose its efficacy after chemical reaction with acid, but also cause stomach discomfort and even cause side effects such as gastrointestinal spasm, diarrhea or constipation.

Extended data:

The newer the new tea, the better. Improper drinking can easily hurt the stomach. Because new tea has just been picked, it has a short storage time and contains more unoxidized polyphenols, aldehydes and alcohols, which has little effect on healthy people. But for patients with poor gastrointestinal function, especially those with chronic gastrointestinal inflammation, these substances will stimulate gastrointestinal mucosa, and people with poor gastrointestinal function are more likely to induce stomach diseases. So don't drink more new tea, and don't drink new tea stored for less than half a month.

It is best to drink tea after meals, because drinking tea on an empty stomach will harm your health, especially for people who don't drink tea often, it will inhibit the secretion of gastric juice, hinder digestion, and seriously cause palpitations, headaches and other "tea drunk" phenomena. In addition, when drinking tea at night, you should put less tea leaves and don't make the tea too strong.

It should be noted that you must not drink overnight tea? . In addition, the temperature is generally high in summer, so tea should not exceed 12 hour. You can't make tea in a thermos cup to avoid the loss of nutrients.
