Advice on how to take antibiotics with all my other medication

I was prescribed Nitrofurantoin for a water infection today the only instruction I was given was take two a day one every 12 hours. I usually take thyroxine at night when I go to bed. You are supposed to eat a meal when you take these antibiotics but I can't get my head around the timing. Talk about brain fog kicking in! I also take bp tablets usually in the morning. Any advise gratefully received 😄😄

Best thing to do is Google and see if there is any problems with taking them with your bp tablets. Then take one after breakfast and the other after lunch.

Thank you bluebug I will have alook it's the twelve hours between that was most concerning me, the nurse practitioner that prescribed them said my other tablets were OK to take with them but I always like to leave a gap of fours most definately with the thyroxine. Hope you are well today x
