RedAndWhite91 Posted 1 September, 2009 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robsk II Posted 1 September, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Post-it note Posted 1 September, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint_stevo Posted 1 September, 2009 Author Share 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedelldays Posted 1 September, 2009 Share 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecuk268 Posted 2 September, 2009 Share 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.
