      Is it okay to drink medicine with tea?

      The chemical components in tea will not only reduce or affect the efficacy of the drug, but also produce some side effects. The tannic acid in tea interacts with proteins, alkaloids, and heavy metal salts in drugs to produce precipitation, which can affect the efficacy and cause side effects.

      At the same time, the tannic acid in tea has an astringent effect, which will prevent the body from absorbing nutrients such as protein and reduce the efficacy of the medicine.
