“There are 114 drugs known to interact withcaffeine, along with 9 disease interactions, and 5 alcohol/food interactions. Of the total drug interactions, 5 are major, 94 are moderate, and 15 are minor.”
And my brain read it in a German speaking English accent.
Caffeine jacks up my muscle tone so the shoulders are cranked all kinds of ways. Afaik it also raises blood pressure, and is a diuretic. Ah, and of course it speeds up gut motility too.
Coffee is not unhealthy. Why would a doctor be asking a patient about coffee consumption? Doctors ask about cigarettes and ALCOHOL.
Caffeine can have all kinds of interactions with other drugs.
Which one? That’s interesting.

Wasn’t there that woman who died because Panera Bread didn’t label their decaf lemonade (??) appropriately?
Edit: yes obviously she had some existing condition…
a very rare heart condition (long q-t) where you can’t have any stimulants. it’s genetic.

It’s very slightly diuretic, but that effect is overshadowed by the fact that it’s 99% water. Coffee actually hydrates you.
That doesn’t matter if the doctor is trying to calculate some medicine dosage.
