avoid any foods containing a substance called Tyramine, such as aged
cheese, red wine, meat tenderizer, yeast extract, chocolate, organ
meats ( and many, many more). This can be a deadly mix as the
combination of a MAO Inhibitor and Tyramine is potentially fatal.
Brussels sprouts and cabbage greatly reduce the effectiveness of
Phenacetin. Licorice can cause severe reactions when combined with
Aldoril. There are many such undesirable combinations of food and
medication. Again, I stress that you should ask your doctor about the
above mentioned and other possible adverse combinations. If you are
aware that you must avoid certain foods, watch for hidden amounts in
packaged and prepared meals. For instance, Cheddar cheese is often
an ingredient in meat coatings and yeast extract appears in most
packaged soups. In a restaurant, it is good policy to ask if any
' prohibited' foods have been used in the preparation of a meal before
ordering. If in doubt, pass on that selection.
Interactions are often, but not always, predictable and the
danger cannot be completely controlled by the doctor. You must
educate yourself and monitor what you put in your mouth in order to
lessen the risks.
Foods, prescribed medications, over- the- counter medicines
and vitamins can affect the results of many diagnostic laboratory tests.
Aspirin and sleeping pills containing chloral hydrate can produce a
false- positive urine sugar glucose test, vitamin C, Pyridium ( often used
for urinary tract infection) and Levadopa ( for Parkinson disease) can all
do the opposite, indicating a normal urine sugar level when sugar is, in
fact, being secreted. Sodium Bicarbonate ( baking soda, Alka- seltzer)
can produce evidence of protein in the urine, indicating possible kidney
disease where none exists. Tranquilizers like Thorazine can produce
false- positive pregnancy tests. Soya sauce can temporarily raise your
temperature. These are, of course, just a few examples. Be sure your
doctor or lab technician is aware of every drug or supplement you have
taken in the recent past. Ask them if there is any food, drug or
supplement that might alter the results of the test you are taking. Be an
aware patient. Askl
How you take you medication can greatly affect its
effectiveness. Food in your stomach may affect drug absorption into
your system, rendering it ineffective. On an empty stomach means at
least one hour before a meal or two hours after. With meals means
with a substantial amount of food, not just a cracker.
Always drink a sufficient amount of liquid to insure that the pill
