My baby has a cold and doesn't like to drink medicine. I put the medicine in milk to drink with her in order to let her drink it. Can milk be taken with medicine?

    Some people think that it is definitely beneficial to take medicines with nutritious things. In fact, this is extremely wrong. Milk can significantly affect the rate of absorption of drugs by the human body, so that the concentration of drugs in the blood is significantly lower than that of non-milk users in the same time. Taking medicine with milk also makes it easy for the medicine to show a covering film, so that the mineral ions such as calcium and magnesium in the milk react chemically with the medicine to form a water-insoluble substance, which not only reduces the efficacy of the medicine, but also may cause harm to the body. Therefore, it is best not to drink milk for 1 or 2 hours before and after taking the medicine.
