• Drinking drugs is not a favorite activity.

Especially if the medicine there are many and big shapes.

For some people, taking medicine with water alone is still difficult.

Not to mention the bitter taste and imprint on the tongue.

Well, one solution to reduce the bitterness and ease swallowing medicine is to eat it with bananas.

But it turns out, this habit can be harmful to health, lo.

Content Less Fit With Drugs

Sweet taste of bananas has been proven to reduce the bitter taste of the drug.

But unfortunately there is one content on bananas that are less fit if consumed with drugs.

The content is potassium.

According to health experts, potassium can support the heart rate and muscles of the nerves.

For some medications such as high blood pressure medication of ACE inhibitors, eating a banana drug may turn out to be bad for health.

This drug can block the change of various active molecules that can cause constriction of blood vessels.

Not only that, this drug also provides side effects of potassium that accumulate in the body and we will experience excess potassium or so-called hyperkalemia.

So what if we hyperkalemia?

We may experience symptoms of nausea to vomiting, fatigue, shortness of breath, pulse rate slowing, to irregular heartbeat.

In some cases, hyperkalemia can also trigger paralysis until death.

In addition to bananas, health experts also prohibit drugs consumed with other foods such as grapefruit, cabbage, or cheese.

For that, it's good we consult first to the doctor who gave the drug about what foods should not be consumed along with the drugs given.

Do not want it, drugs that should make us heal even make us sick more?
