Can I take medicine with tea, juice, milk, or alkaline ionized water?

"Please take this medicine with water (soft water) or hot water."
Water (soft water) and hot water have almost no adverse effects on medications, and have the advantage of improving medication absorption and reducing stomach irritation.
*However, hard water contains magnesium and calcium, which can inhibit the absorption of some medications and reduce their effectiveness, so hard water should be avoided.

1. Tea
Tea and iron supplements : The tannin contained in tea inhibits the absorption of iron supplements and reduces their effectiveness.
Tea x Sleeping Pills : The caffeine contained in tea has a stimulating effect (for example, prevents drowsiness) and can interfere with the ability to sleep.
②Juice
Acidic juices and some antibiotics : Juice can break down the antibiotic's ingredients, making them less effective. It can also make the antibiotic taste bitter.
Grapefruit juice and some antihypertensives/anticoagulants (blood thinning medications) : The components in grapefruit juice may interfere with the breakdown of the medication you are about to take, causing it to work too strongly and making you more susceptible to side effects.
③Milk
Milk and some antibiotics : Calcium inhibits the absorption of antibiotics, reducing their effectiveness.
Milk and some osteoporosis medications : Calcium inhibits the absorption of osteoporosis medications, reducing their effectiveness.
[Alkaline ionized water]
As there is no solid data regarding its effect on medications and its effect on medications is unknown, it is best to avoid it as a precaution.
If you have difficulty taking medicine with water (soft water) or hot water because you don't like the taste of the medicine or for other reasons, be sure to consult a pharmacist before taking the medicine with other drinks.
