Who are you leaving that remaining Anti-malaria drugs for? Me?
Yes, You 😑😑😑

e.g Lonart®, Coartem®, etc is the most Commonly PRESCRIBED medication for the treatment of Malaria in Uganda.

It is WRONG to just take the drug Morning and Night for 3 days without following the right Timing AND it's also WRONG not finishing the full dose.

Many of us Miscalculate the 8hrly, 12hrly timing and this may affect the EFFICACY of the drug OR result in TREATMENT FAILURE OR even REOCCURRENCE of the malaria infection.

: After the 1st Dose, the 2nd Dose is given 8 hours later then the 3rd dose should be given 24 hours from the 1st dose (not 12 hours from the 2nd dose ❌), then the subsequent doses should then be given 12 hourly.

One of the most common questions patients ask me 👇
"Pharm, can I take my Medications with SOFT DRINKS ?"

: it's NOT advisable to take your medications with Soft drinks UNLESS recommended by your Pharmacist.

LET ME EXPLAIN 👇👇👇👇👇

( 1.) Soft drinks are Carbonated water (carbonic + water).

- The ACID can render the drug "in or Less active" leading to sub-optimal clinical outcome.

- Soft drinks doesn't REALLY cause Ulcer but for can cause some ERODING effects on Ulcer patients & those with history of Ulcer due to the Phosphoric acid & Carbonic acids present.

The ACID can also worsen the symptoms of Ulcer (such as bloating, stomach fullness, stomach irritation).

Taking Such Drinks with AntiUlcer medications can make such drugs abit less effective...................

( 2.) Most Soft drinks contain and some drugs SIDE EFFECTS can lead to hyperglycemia (High sugar level in the blood).

- Combination of both can exacerbate such effect and can be detrimental to the patient.

- Can also render Antidiabetics medications less effective.

- The Sugar in Soft Drink can be Inflammatory to Body tissues & organs. This isn't a go combo with Anti-inflammatory (NSAIDs, steriods) & Antioxidants*, etc. ................

(3.) Most Soft drinks also contain .

SIDE EFFECTS OF CAFFEINE & IT EFFECTS ON DRUGS 👇

- Caffeine can cause INSOMNIA (because it helps us feel alert). Taking Sedatives or Hypnotics together with Soft drinks can actually disrupt the sleep process, making the drug less effective.

- Caffeine can cause ANXIETY (nervousness & restlessness), taking it with Anxiolytics can also render the drugs less active.

- Caffeine can cause alot of DIGESTIVE PROBLEM (such as stomach irritation, nausea and vomiting).
Taking it with medication with Digestive disturbance side effects can POTENTIATE those side effects.

- Caffeine can increase Heart rate and BLOOD PRESSURE.
Taking Caffeine containing drinks together with Antihypertensives can render the medications less effective.

- Caffeine can cause Muscle Breakdown (Rhabdomyolysis) hence taking it with Certain medications (such as Fluroquinolones( ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin), Muscle Relaxants) can aggrevate those side effects.

- Caffeine is Addictive. So taking it with certain prescription medicines.

- Caffeine can cause Frequent Urination and Urgency. Taking it with some Meds with similar effects like Diuretics can increase Dehydration. ........

ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR PHARMACIST TO CLARIFY THE TYPE OF DRINK TO USE WITH YOUR MEDICATIONS.
