When please?

Hello everyone, hope you're all keeping as well as possible. I've been unwell lately due to my gallbladder issue.

Hospital prescribed me 2 lots of antibiotics.

I have to take 3 throughout the day of one and 2 with the other. And with food.

Should I still wait 3 to 4 hours after levo before taking antibiotics. Any exceptions with antibiotics or just like everything, wait for 3 to 4 hours.

Thank you

Demitria,

It might help members to make their suggestions if you say which antibiotics you have been prescribed? And does it say anything on the PIL's that you should have received with these medications. (Patient Information Leaflets).

When do you normally take your thyroid medication? Sometimes it's easier to temporarily change the time you take your thyroid meds when juggling the timing of other short term medications like antibiotics.

I would change your heading to attract more attention. Readers cannot see that you are asking a question about antibiotics, unless you put antibiotics in the title.

Not what you're looking for?
