Can you drink green tea while taking Orencia for RA?
Green tea appears to be safe to drink while taking Orencia and may even offer some benefits for RA symptoms. Research suggests green tea contains antioxidants that can help improve immune system function and may have anti-inflammatory effects.
Some studies have found that people with RA who drank 4 to 6 cups of green tea daily for six months experienced reduced inflammation markers and improved disease scores. These benefits were even better when combined with physical exercise.
A myRAteam member shared positive experiences: "I kind of like capsaicin --- the little bit of 'heat' I feel from applying it feels good!" while discussing various remedies including green tea.
However, it's always best to check with your doctor before adding green tea to your routine, especially if you're taking multiple medications. They can advise on the right amount for your specific situation and ensure it won't interact with your treatment plan.
