Caffeine is not contraindicated for current drugs taken for PR, but it should be noted that it can mitigate or worsen certain side effects of PR drugs such as prednisone, methotrexate and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ANC).
Prednisone Because a side effect of prednisone is insomnia, you may want to abandon Java and other very cavity drinks if you are on the steroid and you have sleep problems.
Methotrexate If you take methotrexate (rheumatrex, trexall), however, you may want to consider adding a little caffeine to your routine. When the researchers followed people with PR on this anti-hemming drug modifying the disease for almost a year, they found that people who had trouble tolerating the medication because of its unpleasant symptoms, more than half were well when they took caffeine, in the form of coffee or dark chocolate, as well as their drugs. Another 13% experienced partial relief by adding caffeine.
NSAID It has been found that caffeine improved the analgesic (analgesic) response to NSAIDs, leading to combined formulations, often intended for headaches.
But NSAIDs, which are commonly used for the relief of RA pain, as well as caffeine, can cause stomach aches in some people.
The consumption of the two together could worsen irritation, which must be aware, if you are sensitive to gastrointestinal side effects.
