Section 1 – Fasting and medication
During fasting, the effects of medication can alter. If you are taking one or more of the medication listed below, therapeutic fasting under medical supervision can be more sensible or even directly indicated.
• Strong anti-blood clotting or blood thinning drugs (Anticoagulants, i.e. Simvastatin) • Anti water retention drugs (Diuretics) • Anti-Hypertension drugs (i.e. Beta blockers, ACE inhibitors) • Appetite reducers • Laxatives • Hyperthyroidism medication • Blood sugar regulating drugs • Hormone regulating drugs (incl. insulin, cortisone, etc.) • Psychotropics (incl. antiepileptics, neuroleptics and lithium)
Expecting and breastfeeding mothers, people with depressive moods or mental disorders as well as people who had recent surgery cannot fast. Please take note that oral contraceptives (the pill) may not provide safe protection from pregnancy during fasting. Please speak with your medical consultant, MD or physician and as a pre-caution get yourself a medical clearance from your doctor.
