Coffee is one of the most beloved beverages in the world. Many people rely on it to start the day or wake up. But what if you need to take medications like Dramamine for an illness or for travel sickness? Can you still enjoy a cup of coffee along with it? The short answer is yes, coffee can be consumed safely with Dramamine, but it is important to understand how the two interact before proceeding.<\/p>\n

Firstly, one should always understand the warnings, dosage and side-effects associated with the medicines they are taking. Dramamine is used to treat nausea, vomiting, and dizziness caused by motion sickness, and is available as an over-the-counter medication in the form of tablets and liquids. Coffee theoretically could interfere with the effectiveness of Dramamine, and should, therefore, be consumed with caution when taking to the medicine.<\/p>\n

Caffeine is a stimulant, and as such, can increase blood pressure and pulse, as well as give a psychological boost. Conversely, Dramamine, a medicine in the antihistamine family, is a depressant that can result in drowsiness. Thus, the two could interact if the combination is taken too often or if the Dramamine dosage is not sufficient for the symptoms. Consider speaking with a healthcare professional about potential risks before drinking coffee with Dramamine.<\/p>\n

Interactions with other substances<\/h2>\n

Coffee may also interact with other substances such as alcohol, antipsychotics, paraphenylenediamine, and lithium. Drinking coffee with these substances may increase the risk of undesirable effects. When taken with Dramamine, the risk of side effects increases further. It is important to speak to your healthcare provider about any potential interactions of these medications.<\/p>\n
