No. You can't take any energy drink or anything containing caffeine, pseudoephedrine, ephedrine or ephedra. Unless you want to end up in the ER.

anything that messes with bood chemistry ..electrolytes such as potassium and sodium can cause cardiac arrthymias (irregular beats) that can lead to heart attack or stroke..this is no BS..chugging a liter of Mountain Dew can kill.. I’ve coded a teen in ER that did not make it…caffeine,sodium and potassium in massage amounts can kill,,,
