Types of Supplements are Not Allow Drugs Taken Simultaneously

Sometimes people take supplements and drugs as well as for his body to remain healthy. But this should not be arbitrary, because some supplements should not be mixed with certain medications.

Drugs are consumed in the form of supplements, vitamins, medical drugs or herbalmedicines should not be used arbitrarily.
This is because some drugs can cause a specific interaction that reflects poorly on the body.

Agency U.S. Food and Drug Administration (Food and Drug Administration / FDA) said that only a few cases of reported drug interactions that sometimes is not known. This isgenerally because people are not aware of any interactions between drugs consumed.

Here are some supplements that should not be mixed or consumed together with thedrug, the FDA of Health was quoted as saying on Thursday (04/07/2011), namely:

Fish oil

Eating fish oil with blood pressure-lowering drugs may increase the effects of the drug,so a person will experience a drastic decrease in blood pressure and can be dangerous.

If the supplement is consumed together with birth control pills will reduce the effect oftriglycerides contained in fish oil.

If the consume high doses of fish oil mixed with herbs (including gingko biloba) can slowblood clotting that can cause bleeding.




Calcium Supplements

When taking calcium should pay attention to other drugs consumed by the absorption ofcalcium may reduce the ability of many drugs including osteoporosis drugs known asbisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, quinolone class and used levothyroxine forhypothyroidism.


Melatonin Supplements

Melatonin supplements with sedatives can cause excessive sleepiness. In addition,melatonin can slow blood clotting, so if consumed together with anticoagulant drugssuch as heparin or warfarin can increase the chances of bruising and bleeding.

And also avoid the consumption of melatonin in blood pressure control medicationbecause it can increase the value of blood pressure.


Vitamin D

Vitamin D is known to decrease the effectiveness of cholesterol-lowering drugatorvastatin (Lipitor). Consuming high doses of vitamin D along with diuretic drugs cancause too much calcium in the body which can lead to kidney problems.

In addition, people should not consume drugs with supplements that have similar oreven opposite functions which aggravate the condition, and avoiding consumption ofcardiovascular drugs with herbs.
