Time of Day for Meds

[Zalanicht]

What time of day does everyone take their meds at if they take any?
Any pros or cons to different times of the day?
I take mine right before bed which includes Aza, Vit D, Calcium, and an multi vit.
I've learned to slam the handful all at once with milk or water lol.

Probably best to take your meds with water not milk. Milk doesn't affect the absorption of all medication but as a general rule of thumb it is better to stick with water.

I take mine in the morning. It's a habit from when I was on pred. Also I find it's better to take meds with a meal.

 

[Guest555]

My doc says the pred must be taken first thing in the morning. The rest I take when I can be bothered.

 

[vonfunk]

I take my pred, supplements and 1st dose of salofalk in the morning after breakfast. The rest is generally between 8 and 10pm when I remember.

Take my meds in the morning, after my coffee, with food always,unless I am on cipro. As per Dr Oz it was told that we should take our supplements at night, and I have been because I forget,now I take them after dinner.

Calcium needs to be taken with food to be absorbed. Iron and Calcium don't mix and neiter of them mix with Caffeine.
Breakfast: Asacol, Sulfasalazine, Tramadol (when I wake)
Lunch: Sulfasalazine, Tramadol, Iron, Multi-Vitamine, B12
Dinner: Pantoprazole, Asacol, Sulfasalazine, Tramadol, Calcium
bed: Sulfasalazine, Tramadol
And Eye Drops all the time.

 

[seaofdreams]

Prednisone, multivitamin & calcium with breakfast which is usually around 6am.
I do my MTX shots last thing at night though after dinner and my evening run.

Like everyone else I have so many to take so I spread them throught the day. The Purinethol gives me nausea so i take it just before bed and hopefully i'm asleep before i start to feel sick.

 

[ChefShazzy]

I take my Humira after work/school every other Wednesday. First, when I get home, I take my dose of pred to help with the injection site reaction... Then, about 2 hours later, I do the ***. Fun times!

 

[tmgread]

I take my vitamins whenever I want a treat - they're gummy and taste good. lol I take my Lialda at night.

 

[pugmonster]

I have a terrible memory about tedious daily tasks so I try to take my Lialda at breakfast but usually forget it until lunch or even supper sometimes... eep! But I always use the Canasa before bed as instructed (fun stuff).
