Medical Forum / General / Pharmacy / February 2005Does Soda caffeine, coffee or tea reduce antibiotic effeciency?
Hi all , I hope this group is an appropriate place to ask his: If someone is taking some antibiotic, say, a course of penicillin to treat an infection/inflamation/abscess ... would you recommend such patients to avoid drinking "soda" products like Cola (coke), Gingerale ...that contains carbonic acid ( i think H2CO3 (H2O+CO2)) ? would it reduce the absorption/efficiency of the antibiotic? And... would taking caffeine or the similar stimulating alkaloid, ...etc like drinking considerable amount of coffee or tea ... (or maybe ginsing..) would this boosts up the effeciency of the penicillin or other antibiotics or would it reduce the effciency of the medication and obstruct its functionality? (or would it have just no effect?) if you don't have an answer, could you please refer me to web resources/research done in this area that you would recommend, thank you very much in advance This is a group of people that transcribes medical dictation. We do not practice, nor are we licensed to practice, medicine. Contact the healthcare practitioner who prescribed your antibiotic and/or the pharmacist at the pharmacy that filled that prescription.

This groups does not transcribe medical dictation .... we post about pharmacy issues. Sheila isn't that bright, and along with top-posting, which is the wrong way to post messages, she's full of sh.t. -Larry > Adam, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > -Larry You might want to double-check yourself before you call someone else full of **it. Check and see where your comment was also posted because _you_ also posted in sci.med.transcription, which is not about pharmacy issues. When I responded to this question, it shows it being posted in the following places: sci.med.pharmacy,sci.med.telemedicine,sci.med.transcription. > Adam, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Sheila isn't that bright, and along with top-posting, which is > the wrong way to post messages, she's full of sh.t. WADR, please note that this message was cross-posted to several newsgroups including sci.med.transcription, and while both she and you apparently overlooked that fact, she was absolutely correct in regard to whether it's appropriate in regard to that particular newsgroup. I would also note that top-posting, while improper in most venues, is generally accepted within s.m.t.. I suggest that an apology might be apropos for shooting from the hip here. Eliyahu The only things that I have heard about Soda that are fact, is that the sugar in regular soda will suppress your immune system. But my best advice would be to call your local pharmacist and find out.
