I read Dr. K's report & Dr. B's report and I still can't figure out whether I can take mepron/zith at the same time I take arteminsin.

I take so many supplements now that there isn't enough hours in the day it seems to separate all these med's [confused]

by 2-4 hours.

Any help would be appreciated.

2 LLMDs prescibed it that way for me. w/ mepron/zith.

I never did do the it though....others here have.

Posted by humbah 93 (Member # 7468) on :

Thanks Jay & Trails for answering my question. I'm going to try it together.

I took all 3 at once, if you are really worried ask your doc, but it should be fine. [Smile]

My son did all three at once as well, no problems. Kathi check your PM's.

I was on 'malarone' at the same time as artimisinin (and antibiotics as well (not to mention all kind of other stuff)). 'Malarone' is basically the same stuff as 'mepron', in solid tabs. I had no problem., and this combi was the key to my getting better; no doubt about it.

Yes did it that way. My husband is also taking marlone, zith & art all together 2x a day.

I am taking Mepron/Biaxin and adding Artemisinin. So, for me, yes.

thank-you everyone for replying and sharing your experiences with me, I appreciate everyones help.

DaveS- how long were you on the Malarone and Artemisinin? And how long off?

I'd been on Malarone for about 8 months and when I tried to go off, symptoms returned. I've added Artemisinin 3X day for about 1 1/2 months.
