Many people have beliefs about things they should not do or eat when taking medicines. For this reason they may stop taking a medicine they need . In truth, no medicines causes harm just because it is taken with certain foods - whether pork, chili pepper, guava, oranges, or any other food.

But foods with lots of grease or spices can make problems of the stomach or gut worse whether or not any medicine is being taken . Certain medicines will cause bad reactions if a person drinks alcohol.
Tetracycline will not work as well if it is taken with foods that contain milk.

There are situations when , without a doubt, it is best not yo use certain medicines:

(1) Pregnant women or women who are breast feeding should avoid all medicines that are not absolutely necessary ( However, they can take limited amounts of vitamins or iron pills without danger.)

(2) With newborn children, be very careful when using medicines Whenever possible look for medical help before giving them any type of medicine. Be sure not to give too much.

(3) persons who have ulcers or heartburn should avoid medicines that contain aspirin.

(4) There are specific medicines that are harmful or dangerous to take when you have certain illnesses. For example, persons with hepatitis should not be treated with antibiotics or other strong medicines, because their liver is damaged, and the Medici are more likely to poison the body.

Thanks for sharing, that is the reason why it is advisable for us to have a family doctor or a personal doctor we can discuss every of our health challenge to , they are in a position to give us a better information on how to go about our health related issue , they will always be there to advise us whenever we have any challenges but at the same time we should also try to do our own proper research to understand a lot of things on our own and not also depend on doctor for everything because most doctors here do not really have time.

My auntie who has ulcer have been trying to avoid drugs with aspirin because it increase and worsen the ulcer symptom that is why in any hospital she is going for treatment she always warn about her health conditions so to prevent the doctors from prescribing aspirin.

We just have to be very careful in some of the things we take without proper consultation from qualifiedmedical doctor because it can have a dangerous side effects in us or probably our children.. when a person is pregnant or is feeding a new baby we have to be so observant about some of the things we takes in
 
Good advice, medicines should not be taken at any given chance, some persons tend to misuse drugs especially does pain killers or pain reliever drugs. Once they feel a slight headache, they just start taking drugs like Panadol or paracetamol and or drugs like this. Some have even become addicted to it that they can't seem to rest without taking it. These drugs should be a last option for you, there are so many other natural ways you can go about it first.
 
Medicine should not be taken any how, because Medicine can be turn to poison when it takes without prescription by the specialist. It is not good to take a medicine prescribed by the patient himself without consulting doctor which can turn to great hazard. And it is not good to be taking the medicine in empty stomach when there is problem or complain.
 
Medicine should not be taken for patients that have ulcer it dangerous for there health and the reason is because those that have ulcer have particular drugs they use to cure it so you using another drug can be dangerous.so use medicine at the right time for a better health
