Levo and antibiotics

[Daisydoo2]

Just a quick question. I have been prescribed antibiotics today that have to be taken 4 times a day as near to 6 hours apart as poss. So my question is when is it best to take my levo? I tend to take it in the middle of the night if I wake to go to loo or about 5 in morning.

Advice pls and thank you.

What time do you usually take levo? 

What time do you usually sleep?

If you need to take your antibiotics 6 hourly then you need to take levo between 2 doses.   

So this ideal time to take might disturb you sleep.

Can you take antibiotics with food? 

When I’ve had to take medication like like this I’ve tried to work out timing and then set alarms or used an app to make sure there taken at right time.

Thank you , yes I am having to wake about 2.30 - 3 in the morning to take the levo. 😴😴

There’s no other way round it really. It’s just for 4 more days though.

so taking @ 03.00 presumably you take antibiotics at 00.00 & 06.00 then again at 12.00 & 18.00 to take 4 doses a day.

Must be hard with broken sleep but if you can hang on in there. 4 more days & you can get back to normal.
