saint_stevo Posted 1 September, 2009 Posted 1 September, 2009 What happens if you take tablets without food, even if that is detailed as a pre-requisite on the packet?
Saint Keith Posted 1 September, 2009 Posted 1 September, 2009 What happens if you take tablets without food, even if that is detailed as a pre-requisite on the packet? it will probably make you chunder
RedAndWhite91 Posted 1 September, 2009 Posted 1 September, 2009 I have to take tablets every day, around 3 times a day, and have been doing so for the past 2 years and on the packet it says they should be taken with food. I rarely take them with food and they still do their job. I guess it depends on what your tablets are but you should be alright I guess?
saint_stevo Posted 1 September, 2009 Author Posted 1 September, 2009 Painkillers and anti-infalmmatory's. Got them in my room but no food about til it gets delivered this afternoon. Think i'll give it a whirl
Robsk II Posted 1 September, 2009 Posted 1 September, 2009 Quite often, it's to ensure an even intake of a drug, as it goes in more slowly if mixed with a load of food / drink. Also, some can cause problems such as stomach ulcers in unlucky cases or with specific / stronger types.
Post-it note Posted 1 September, 2009 Posted 1 September, 2009 If you take them without food you might rattle when you walk (the little boys will hear you coming) but as you can't walk I don't think it matters.
Wiltshire Saint Posted 1 September, 2009 Posted 1 September, 2009 You will poo them out as special poo tablets.
Ponty Posted 1 September, 2009 Posted 1 September, 2009 Ulceration and reflux acid indigestion are the usual problems.

saint_stevo Posted 1 September, 2009 Author Posted 1 September, 2009 knee is pretty rough to be honest, will be a week tomorrow since the Op, but it is still massive and hurts like fook. Not left the house since Got Physio friday and staples out Monday, summit to look forward to....
Thedelldays Posted 1 September, 2009 Posted 1 September, 2009 depends on the tablets themselves... some will make you sick...others will take you on a little flight over the clouds (ask the painted cow brothers, they know)
Smirking_Saint Posted 1 September, 2009 Posted 1 September, 2009 knee is pretty rough to be honest, will be a week tomorrow since the Op, but it is still massive and hurts like fook. Not left the house since Got Physio friday and staples out Monday, summit to look forward to.... Really ?? Thats pretty surprising, and the fact your still on your tablets. I know the patellar graft is supposed to hurt more though. At least it's on the mend
saint_stevo Posted 1 September, 2009 Author Posted 1 September, 2009 bit worried, as tonight my ankle is unrecognisable as an ankle.....it is massive
ecuk268 Posted 2 September, 2009 Posted 2 September, 2009 I'm the opposite in that I have to take a tablet first thing in the morning before food (under-active thyroid). It says on the packet that digestive juices can dilute the effectiveness of the drug. Probably, taking them with food gives a slower release into the bloodstream.
Big John Posted 2 September, 2009 Posted 2 September, 2009 bit worried, as tonight my ankle is unrecognisable as an ankle.....it is massive How do you know that it is your ankle then?
