I am so stupid

[Doug]

Ok so dd has been taking azith for 4+months...

so yesterday I go and fill her rx and a new pharmacist

that was there handed it to me and said...

"now you do know that she can't have any dairy with this for at least 2 hrs"

I said really? well I give it to her after her milk in the morning

so I guess I wont be doing that in the morning anymore..!!!

after all of this time..

it's not on the box or in the paper that comes with it saying no dairy

same goes for the probiotics that we take.. it needs to be taken at night

far away from the morning dose of the azith.

now the florastor for kids that dr.k wants her to take

the company said that we could take it right away with the azith but I am going to call them back again just to make sure!!

And I thought I was getting all of this all straight

NOT!!!

Well, guess I'm stupid, too! Can't take dairy at the same time as zith? Never heard of that.

So the side note should be per the couple of threads...

NO Dairy(calcium), No Mag, No probiotics, NO Bentonite clay......2 hours before or after abx.....is that the list???

i are dumb too...

According to Pfizer's website:

ZITHROMAX tablets and oral suspension can be taken with or without food.

 

There is no mention of avoiding dairy. I couldn't come up with anything else by googling either. Since it was a new pharmacist, it might be worth checking with your regular pharmacist or calling pfizer. It would seem odd that there's no label on the script bottle or that none of us have ever been told this. Worth double-checking before nixing that morning glass of milk.

Actually laughed out loud when I read this !!

 

Tracie-

Did he give a reason why at all ?

[Johnsmom]

dont feel dumb. Probos and antibiotics should NOT be taken together. It makes the antibiotic less effective. Its after a couple of hours as noted already in another post on this subject. I often wonder if waiting longer than two hours is too late. ??

He said because of the calcium

with it(because of the calcium)

space them out also.

Yes calcium is his key word...

[7upMom]

Would this also include other abx like augmentin too? interesting I will ask our pharmacist when I see her next
