Can you eat mung bean porridge on medication?

Drinking mung bean porridge after taking medication is not recommended because mung bean porridge is boiled with mung beans, which have antidote properties to certain medications, and mung beans, mung bean water and mung bean porridge are prohibited 30 minutes after taking medication. Drugs include anti-inflammatory drugs such as cephalosporins, azithromycin, roxithromycin, ofloxacin, and penicillin. These drugs can produce secondary drug failure due to mung beans, making the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the drug much less effective, so drinking mung bean porridge after taking anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics is not recommended. If the drugs taken are herbal medicines, such as drugs to improve qi and blood, such as Salvia, Safflower, Chuanxiong, Rhodiola, American Ginseng, etc., it is also not recommended to drink mung bean porridge immediately, mung bean also has a certain antidote to such herbal medicines, so it is not recommended to drink mung bean porridge after taking drugs.
