A member asked:
Is it advisable to take meds and energy drinks at the same time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some no: Most energy drinks contain caffeine. The amounts vary, but some are quite high and this could interfere with some medications, especially many meds used to treat high blood pressure, cardiac problems and add/adhd. I suggest you talk to either your doctor or pharmacist about your specific meds and bring a bottle of your energy drink so they can see what it contains and if that will be a problem.
