Tea and coffee usually contain five alkaloids including caffeine, nicotine and theobromine which react with medicines and reduce their effect. Also, it also hinders their absorption. In such a situation, here we are telling you about 5 such medicines, which you should avoid taking with tea and coffee-

analgesic
Taking some painkillers, such as ibuprofen and naproxen, with tea or coffee can increase the risk of stomach irritation and ulcers.

Taking hypothyroidism medicines with coffee reduces its effectiveness. According to health experts, coffee reduces the absorption of thyroid medicine by more than half.
Asthma medications
Asthma medicine should not be taken with tea or coffee. Caffeine contains a bronchodilator which reduces the effect of these medicines. It can also cause headache, restlessness, stomach pain and irritability.
