Can I eat chili peppers at night while taking Deanxit?

Dalixin usually refers to flupentixol-melitracen tablets, a medication used to treat mild to moderate depression and anxiety. It is not recommended to eat chili peppers at night when taking flupentixol-melitracen tablets. The spicy components in chili can stimulate the body, potentially affecting the drug's efficacy and increasing the risk of adverse reactions, which is detrimental to recovery. If severe discomfort or worsening symptoms occur after consumption, prompt medical attention is advised.

Flupentixol-melitracen tablets are commonly used to manage mood-related disorders. During treatment, the body’s tolerance to stimuli is relatively low. Capsaicin in chili peppers can irritate the gastrointestinal tract, causing discomfort such as stomach pain and acid reflux. Since the medication itself may mildly irritate the gastrointestinal system, combining it with spicy food can further increase the burden on the digestive system.

From a pharmacological standpoint, spicy ingredients may affect the stability of the nervous system, interfering with the drug’s regulation of mood and potentially worsening symptoms such as insomnia and anxiety. Eating spicy food at night, in particular, can impair sleep quality, hinder the body’s natural recovery processes, and contradict the need for physical and mental regulation during treatment.

Diet during medication should be light and easy to digest. Increase intake of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, and avoid spicy and greasy foods at dinner. Maintain regular sleep patterns, and avoid stimulating foods and activities before bedtime. Strictly follow the prescribed dosage and do not adjust the dose without medical advice, so as to maximize the effectiveness of the medication.
