Timing Medication

[SjoGirl]

Hi all,

I am taking Plaquenil in the mornings, 200 mg and take Fosomax on Sunday mornings. I am now on Cipro for an e coli infection (pretty sure from a salad from a fast food restaurant) and doing ok with medication timing during the week. However, I'm wondering what to do on Sunday as I will have three pills to take in the a.m.

I asked the pharmacist whose only advice was don't take the plaquenil and Cirpo at the same time. I am waiting about an hour between each. Thoughts/

HMMMM? Not sure I understand the question. Three pills isn't really a big deal. And it sounds like it's 2 pills and then 1 an hour later?

Did I miss something?

if I remember correctly from when my mother took Fosamax you could not take it and then eat until 1 hour later.so if you eat one hour later just take the cipro next and then wait another hour and take the Plaquenil.

Thanks. I realize many folks take much more medication and also supplements. I asked because I know there can be issues with absorption of meds if you don't space them out carefully, e.g., the Cipro has info about how long before taking it you can take iron or vitamins.
