A STUDY published in the
journal Clinical Pharmacology &
Therapeutics has found that green
tea may lower the plasma levels of
the blood pressure drug nadolol.
The Japanese study looked at 10
healthy volunteers who each took
a single oral dose of nadolol with
green tea or water, after repeated
consumption of green tea (at 700ml
per day) or water for 14 days.
The study found that green tea
reduced plasma levels of nadolol
by more than three quarters, the
Australian reported.
The study’s abstract said nadolol
effects on systolic blood pressure
were “significantly reduced” by
green tea.
