Apple cider vinegar is made from fermented apple cider, where bacteria and yeast convert sugar into alcohol and eventually into acetic acid. Apple cider vinegar is rich in vitamins and minerals. However, some medications can interact with apple cider vinegar and can be bad for the body. People who take insulin or insulin-stimulating medications may experience very low blood sugar or potassium levels when taking together with apple cider. Another drug interaction is with Digoxin. This drug lowers blood potassium levels. Combining it with apple cider vinegar can lower potassium too much. Certain diuretic medications cause the body to excrete potassium. To prevent potassium levels from dropping too low, this medicine should not be taken at the same time as large amounts of apple cider vinegar.
