Antidotal foods mainly include:
1. High-fat foods: such as fatty meats, fried foods, etc., which may affect the absorption of certain medications.
2. High-protein foods: such as fish, shrimp, milk, etc., which may also influence drug absorption.
3. High-fiber foods: such as whole grains, vegetables, fruits, etc., which may accelerate intestinal motility and reduce drug absorption.
4. Foods containing large amounts of vitamins: such as alcohol, coffee, tea, etc., which may affect drug metabolism.
Additionally, mung beans, white radish, tea, and similar items are also considered to be antidotal foods that may influence the effectiveness of medications. During medication use, it is recommended to follow the guidance of a physician and avoid consuming these foods that may interfere with drug efficacy.
