NSG 4407 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Soybean, Ace Inhibitor, Linezolid
Document Summary
Kale, broccoli (vitamin k) & blood thinners (warfarin) Foods that are rich in vitamin k reduce the effectiveness of blood thinners. Grapefruit can increase statin levels in your body, thereby increasing statin-related side effects. Bananas (potassium) and ace inhibitors (captopril, enalapril, and lisinopril) Too much potassium can cause an irregular heartbeat and heart palpitations. Walnuts, soybean flour (high fiber) & thyroid medications (levothyroxine) High- ber foods can prevent the body from absorbing thyroid medications. Dairy products (calcium) & quinolone antibiotics (ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin) Calcium reduces the level of these antibiotics in your blood. Salami, aged cheese (tyramine) & oxazolidinone antibiotics (linezolid) and maoi-type antidepressants (phenelzine) Eating a tyramine rich diet while taking certain medications can cause a dusden, dangerous increase in blood pressure.
