3. Orange Juice
When you are taking antibiotics it is likely that you are suffering from some type of cold or another ailment. One go-to for most people when they are feeling sick is to drink orange juice or to eat oranges. The high amounts of vitamin C found in oranges is one of the reasons that people turn to this fruit and fruit juice when they are feeling sick.
However, when you are taking an antibiotic it is important to avoid drinking orange juice. The reason for this is because not only does orange juice have a high amount of vitamin C, but it also is extremely acidic.
When you are on antibiotics, drinking orange juice can impede the absorption process for the antibiotics. This means that the antibiotics are working slower than they normally would. This can cause your recovery time to take much longer, so it is best to hold off on the orange juice until you are done with your antibiotics.
