leflidamide with antibiotics?

4 Replies

I was put on antibiotics yesterday because I have a chest infection but forgot to ask if I should stop taking Lefludamide whilst on antibiotics. I just wondered if any of you have been told what to do in that situation. I will ring my GPs if no one knows but I usually hang on waiting for about an hour because I am 30-something online to be answered.

Ask your pharmacist..

Hi holly-willow, sorry to hear you have a chest infection. I can only suggest contacting a medically trained professional to advise you: ideally someone from your rheumatology team but failing that your GP or as mentioned a pharmacist. I appreciate how difficult it is to get through to someone, but it really does need someone to advise you specifically.

Hope you start to feel better soon.
