Not all medicines are affected by food. Some, though, are affected by what you eat or when you eat it. Taking a medicine at the same time you eat can cause your body not to absorb the medicine. Or certain foods may delay or decrease the absorption of the drug. This is why some medicines should be taken on an empty stomach (1 hour before eating or 2 hours after eating).

# Some of the foods that should be avoided with medicines are :-

- milk should not be taken with iron tablets

- potassium containing foods should not be taken with ACE inhibitors

- grape or grapefruits should not be taken with cholesterol drugs

- aspirin should be taken with milk to increase its absorption

Orange juice should be taken with iron tablets to increase irons absorption

- Take all medicine with a full glass of water, unless your doctor tells you otherwise.

- Do not stir medicine into your food or take capsules apart, unless your doctor tells you to. This can change the way the drug works.

- Do not mix medicine into hot drinks. Heat may keep the drug from working.

- Do not take vitamins at the same time you take other medicine. Vitamins and minerals can cause problems if taken with some drugs.
