For
example, caffeine has the effect of exciting nerves, which may interfere with the effect of Chinese patent medicines with sedative effect; tannic acid has astringent effect, which may combine with Chinese patent medicines containing alkaloids and other ingredients, thus reducing its efficacy. At this time, tea is usually not allowed. If the Chinese patent medicine will not interact with the ingredients in the tea and will not affect the efficacy, it can usually be drunk in moderation. If you
want to drink tea while taking Chinese patent medicine, consult a doctor or pharmacist to ensure that the medicine is safe and effective.
