Fruit and Drug Reactions

Nkechi don go buy antimalaria drug again ooooooo

Nkechi treated malaria 2 weeks ago ooo..

Nkechi still had the Guts to ask me to prescribed fruits for her even while on medication..

Kai.

Please my fruit family.

No dey take vitamin c tablet or fruits high in vit c like oranges,pineapples, infact all fruits except coconut water when treating malaria please..

All drugs are metabolized in the liver.

The liver is rich in iron, and iron is important in the life cycle of malaria parasites (plasmodium).

Vitamin C helps in absorption of iron, which goes to the liver.

Malaria parasites accumulate in the liver and multiply since the iron they need to survive is surplus there.

This counteracts the effect of whatever malaria drug you’re taking.

So be calming Down on those citrus fruits or supplements when you’re treating malaria biko..

You can boil lemon grass tea as it has quinine ..

Eat lots of okro soup to help you absorb your medication well..

Lastly please oo

Coconut water is a must after malaria treatment..

This helps you to regain strength fast after malaria Treatment…
