Interaction of Drinking with Banana

Banana is a fruit that is high in potassium or potassium. Potassium is useful in carrying out the function of heart muscle cells and keeping the heart beating. In addition, potassium also plays a role in carrying out the normal function of nerves and maintaining healthy muscles.

There are several reasons not to take medicine with milk:

1. There are interactions that cause the drug not to be absorbed in the body For example, some drugs, such as the angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, which are used as blood pressure-lowering drugs increase potassium levels in the body. If you are using an ACE inhibitor or ARB class of drugs, your doctor will usually check your potassium levels regularly. In addition, when using this drug, it is also recommended to avoid foods that contain potassium, such as bananas. Some certain drugs have the effect of increasing potassium levels, if used together with bananas which also contain potassium, the potassium levels in the body will be higher which will have an effect on the work of the heart and be at risk for someone who has a history of hypertension. 

2. Potassium levels that are too highc ause the performance of the drug to be not optimal.

What is Interaction? And what will happen if you drink milk after taking medicine? 

Drug interactions with food or with drinks, one of which is bananas, are interactions that can occur due to the wrong method of unintentional use, or the patient's ignorance of the drug content. Drug interactions can cause several effects, including: 

* Making the drug work increases or it becomes not optimal. 

* Resulting in milder or worse side effects of the drug, sometimes it can even cause new side effects. 

* Interfere with drug absorption, drug metabolism in the body, or drug excretion from the body.

It is important to know which drugs and foods should not be used together with the drugs you want to take so they don't interact. To prevent drug interactions from occurring, avoid using bananas together with drugs.

If you usually use bananas when taking medicine, let's start changing it, get used to using plain water so that drug interaction don't accur.
