Is it safe to drink green tea while on antibiotics ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That depends: Drinking large amounts of green tea can impact use of some antibiotics. Would limit to 3 cups or less per day (on antibiotics) or consult with your pharmacist or your physician about possible interactions with the specific medication that you are taking.
