Change in lifestyle: Healthy eating
Eating healthier can help you manage a variety of chronic Venex 100 mg (Venetoclax) conditions, including heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes. Now, nutrition doesn't work the same way for everyone. The type of food you eat and how much you eat can affect how well your medication works to treat your current condition.
Diet and your medications
According to MyPlate , a healthy diet is one that includes a balance of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, fish, eggs, legumes, and low-fat dairy; Likewise, highly processed foods, foods high in saturated fat, or foods high in sodium should be avoided.
However, eating some of these recommended foods, such as grapefruit, low-fat dairy, or dark green leafy vegetables, could interfere with the effectiveness of your medications and cause them to not work as well, or that stay longer in your body. Talk to your pharmacist to find out if any of your medications have these types of interactions.
Weight loss and medications
Losing weight through healthier eating or eating fewer calories can improve some conditions, such as heart disease and diabetes. It could also influence the dosage of your medication.
“During a weight loss treatment, most of the time the dose of the medication the patient is taking must be reduced,” said Christina Wilson-Smith, certified pharmacist at Express Scripts®.Pharmacy. “Among the most common medications that require dose modification or interruption are insulin or oral diabetes medications, blood pressure medications, and cholesterol medications.”
This is equally true if you only lose 5 to 10 pounds. If you are taking a medication to treat diabetes or hypertension, your doctor may ask you to monitor your blood pressure and glucose levels at home until they stabilize, allowing your doctor to determine your new dose accurately.
