There are some tonic-type herbs that you do not want to take while you have certain types of infections, but these herbs should be fine.

If these teas are pure and contain no other ingredients, they *should* be OK. I would call the pharmacist and ask though.

Because herbals and alternative medications are not tested, nor are they tested for use with traditional medications, I would be very careful. You would not know if they affect the antibiotics in any way.

For example, anyone who takes medication for blood pressure has to avoid grapefruit. Grapefruit makes the medication take on extra strength, which can lower the blood pressure beyond what's healthy. Understandably, this could be a catastrophic combination.

Call your pharmacist.



Yes, you'll be fine, generally anything organic won't conflict with meds. I don't see any reason why antibiotics would cancel the effect of the tea.



A regular herbal tea, especially fruit tea won’t do any harm.

Drinking tea daily for the past 25 years
