Good Morning! I need some information on Phen and how it is flushed from the system when I drink coffee. :???: I can't find any information on how this happens. I cannot speak from personal experience, either, because I wait 3 hours after I take my coffee to take my Phen. BUT, I also take my morning medicines for arthritis with coffee. :shock: Uh-oh! My local pharmacist cannot explain whether or not this flushes these medicines from my system or whether it is just applicable to Phen.
Anybody who has any knowledge of this phenomenon, PLEASE post for me!

Susan, coffe is a diuretic. This makes it push stuff through and out of your system faster. Kinda like a laxative. So when you take meds w/ it...it has a tendancy to push them through quicker, then flush them quicker as well. I don't drink that much coffee myself, if any actually, but I personally wouldn't take any meds w/ it. I think you have the right idea about taking the Phen that long after your coffee, but I think I would also take my other's after as well. It's best to take all meds w/ water. Now I'm not sure exactly why that's true LOL, but that's what I've always been told by my Doc, and I trust that man for sure, so that's what I've always done. Maybe try taking all your meds a couple hours after your coffee, and see if you can tell any difference w/ them.
