Does Lucozade Cause Harm To The Weak Heart?
My mom was hopitalized for a spider bite - she had some complications and the doctors told her that she has a weakened heart. We want to give her lucozade to help her recovery as she is very weak after a 3 week hospital stay - will this be harmful for her heart?

Hello,
Just not very likely to do much. it is a caffeinated soda. Not all that different from coca-cola lite. It has some caffeine which might be a slight issue in some people. it has a small amount of sugar which also might be an issue if diabetic.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
