Drink medicine with milk

In our life, when we encounter some diseases, we have to take medicine for treatment, which is very unwilling to see. When someone is taking medicine, the habit of taking medicine needs attention, such as taking it with milk. Is this good for the health?

Only by using drugs scientifically and rationally from multiple links can we really guarantee life, health and safety. We know that medicine is usually taken with water, but most people may not know that you can drink a glass of milk to "pad your stomach" before taking certain drugs.

As we all know, milk is a food containing protein and has high nutritional value. Moreover, data show that when we are using some special drugs, if we drink some milk properly, it can help us prevent drugs from hurting our stomach.

When antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin, paracetamol and ibuprofen are used, or glucocorticoid drugs such as prednisone, dexamethasone and cortisone are used, it is easy to cause gastric mucosal damage, and even sometimes it may cause inflammation or ulcer. In addition to these two kinds of drugs, there are other drugs that can cause gastric mucosal damage, such as digitalis, iodine, tetracycline, reserpine and so on. At this time, if you drink a glass of milk before taking the medicine, the milk will form a special protective film on the surface of the gastric mucosa of the human body, thus playing a role in protecting the gastric mucosa.

However, proper milk can protect the gastric mucosa and prevent drugs from hurting the stomach. But experts tell us that the drinking time of milk is particular. Generally speaking, it is not suitable for drinking milk while using drugs. This is mainly because when drugs and milk are mixed together, milk will also form a protective film on the surface of drugs, just like it is formed on the gastric mucosa, so that such a film tightly wraps the drugs, thus blocking the release of effective components of drugs, thus affecting the efficacy of drugs. In addition, when some drugs are used with milk at the same time, they will also cause interactions, such as tetracycline antibiotics, iron agents, cardiotonic drugs, anti-Parkinson drugs, antihypertensive drugs, antipsychotic drugs and so on.

Finally, I would like to remind you that the temperature of milk should be appropriate, neither too hot nor too cold to prevent the stomach from being stimulated by too high or too low temperature. Of course, once there are obvious gastrointestinal symptoms, it is impossible to have any obvious effect just by drinking a glass of milk. At this time, we should go to the hospital as soon as possible and seek the help of doctors.

For those who need to use drugs that will hurt their stomachs for a long time, it is recommended to drink a proper amount of milk after using drugs for 1-2 hours. This can not only ensure the efficacy of the drug, but also prevent gastric mucosal damage to a certain extent, killing two birds with one stone.
