It depends on the specific medication and dosage. Caffeine can be safely taken in moderate doses, but excessive or prolonged use may cause side effects such as nervousness, restlessness, insomnia, irritability, headaches, increased heart rate, and gastrointestinal discomfort. If you are taking any medications, it is important to consult with your doctor before beginning or changing your regimen.
