What things shouldn't be mixed with heart medicines?

Question

They say grapefruit juice & cranberry juice shouldn't be taken when on certain medications, are there any other things that could be dangerous with certain meds??

Answer 1

This is NOT a question for Yahoo... Please see your Pharmacist or your Doctor. BUT in this case your Pharmacist would actually know more...

Answer 2

Alcohol
Ephedrines
Pseudoephederine
Cough meds and cold meds with the above in them

If you are on Warfarin, Coumadin or Heparin IV therapy you should avoid an abundance of Dark veggies, excessive aspirin, though it works on a different clotting mechanism than the Coumadin.

Thyroid meds can effect the heart

You druggist should catch any major interactions between meds and always, ALWAYS, read those little stuck on labels they add to your med bottles to be sure you know if a specific food will change the dosage of your meds inadvertently.

Answer 3

This question must be answered by a professional, the Dr. who ordered the meds, or a pharmacist.

Answer 4

Alcohol. With Coumadin just about anything can be dangerous. It's best to ask your doctor or pharmacist. It really just depends on what medication you're taking.

Answer 5

That's a question for your doctor since he knows your medical history and exactly what drugs you are currently using! What's fine for some can be fatal for others!

Answer 6

You may be too young for this...but whatever you do ..... do not take any meds for ED if your taking any form of Nitro.....such as Viagra or any other ED med....like i said you may not have this problem...but it is vital to your survival....basically.....YOU WILL DIE!

Answer 7

I would ask you doctor or pharmacists for a list.

Answer 8

You need to check with a professional on this. Not from someone from here.
