Soltiris Antoniou, who is the spokesman for the Royal Pharmaceutical Society and a consultant pharmacist for cardiovascular medicine, suggested that blood pressure patients who still want to drink green tea should leave a four hour gap between the cups as this might solve the problem.
He further said that this is yet to be confirmed and is also explained by our experience with grapefruit.
"For any individual concerned, they can go to their local community pharmacy where they can clarify any potential interaction." Mr Antoniou said.
