Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant that may interfere with the sedative and sleep-inducing effects of medications, and may also accelerate drug metabolism, leading to reduced efficacy. In addition, excessive consumption of tea eggs may irritate the gastrointestinal tract and worsen gastrointestinal side effects.
