It is not uncommon for busy white-collar workers to take medicine with drinks. Because of her busy business, Ms. Liu took the painkiller ibuprofen (Fenbid) with coffee, which led to acute gastric bleeding.

Li Hongzhu, an associate researcher at Tianjin Pharmaceutical Research Institute, said that Fenbid is a commonly used painkiller. Ibuprofen, a derivative of phenylacetic acid, has an acidic effect on the gastric mucosa, while caffeine in coffee stimulates the secretion of stomach acid. When mixed with Fenbid, the damage to the stomach is beyond doubt. Often ignore these medication taboos, may lead to gastric ulcers and other diseases; and patients with gastric inflammation and ulcers are prone to further gastric bleeding and gastric perforation.

Therefore, Li Hongzhu reminds everyone not to use drinks such as coffee, cola, tea and fruit juices to take medicine, unless there is a special requirement, even mild soymilk and milk are not suitable for use. For Fenbid this kind of medicine, had better use plain boiled water to take, lest some ingredients in the drink aggravate the side effects of the drug, or biphasic effect, reduce the effect of the drug. In addition, taking medicine half an hour after a meal can reduce the irritating effect of the drug on the gastrointestinal tract. Source: contemporary Health Daily
