Does Soda caffeine, coffee or tea reduce antibiotic effeciency?

[Adam]

Hi all ,
I hope this group is an appropriate place to ask his:

If someone is taking some antibiotic, say, a course of penicillin
to treat an infection/inflamation/abscess ...

would you recommend such patients to avoid drinking
"soda" products like Cola (coke), Gingerale ...that contains
carbonic acid ( i think H2CO3 (H2O+CO2)) ?
would it reduce the absorption/efficiency of the antibiotic?

And...
would taking caffeine or the similar stimulating alkaloid, ...etc
like drinking considerable amount of coffee or tea ...
(or maybe ginsing..)
would this boosts up the effeciency of the penicillin or
other antibiotics or would it reduce the effciency of the medication
and obstruct its functionality?
(or would it have just no effect?)

if you don't have an answer, could you please
refer me to web resources/research done in this area that
you would recommend,

thank you very much in advance

Adam,

Hang in there and someone will answer you soon. This groups does not
transcribe medical dictation .... we post about pharmacy
issues.

Sheila isn't that bright, and along with top-posting, which is
the wrong way to post messages, she's full of shit.

You might want to double-check yourself before you call someone else full
of **it. Check and see where your comment was also posted because _you_
also posted in sci.med.transcription, which is not about pharmacy issues.
When I responded to this question, it shows it being posted in the
following places:
sci.med.pharmacy,sci.med.telemedicine,sci.med.transcription.

WADR, please note that this message was cross-posted to several
newsgroups including sci.med.transcription, and while both she and you
apparently overlooked that fact, she was absolutely correct in regard to
whether it's appropriate in regard to that particular newsgroup. I
would also note that top-posting, while improper in most venues, is
generally accepted within s.m.t.. I suggest that an apology might be
apropos for shooting from the hip here.

The only things that I have heard about Soda that are fact, is that the
sugar in regular soda will suppress your immune system.
But my best advice would be to call your local pharmacist and find out.
