Just a quick question, is there any problem with combining a B-Complex tablet with antibiotics? Specifically Doxy and Flagyl? Reason I ask is because I completely ran out of room in my mid-morning pill compartment, and the only place left to fit it is in the abx one. How is that for a reason? [Wink]

Am I ok with combining those? Thx!

I am not sure if taking them at the same time is okay or not (as I'm not on abx tx). Surely, others will soon come along with answer.

In the meantime, these two documents may shed some light on that:

I take my B-complex at the same time as my abx (Ceftin, azithromyacin, bactrim) with no problems. My LLMD hasn't ever warned against this, so I figure it's OK. (With the ever-present note that I am not a doctor.)

i too wandered about this...

since Probiotics i now know are to be taken a few hours apart from the Antibiotics

(i take Ceftin 500mg twice a day)

what about all the vitamins ???

i take vit c, vit b, magnesium, fish oil, and a few others in hopes to buist the immune system ofcourse...

when is good to take all them ?

a specific timing or any time ?

[confused]

multivitamin minerals should be taken away from antibiotics. Examples are iron, magnesium etc.

per my llmd.

they also should be taken 4 hours before or after thyroid meds.

I take mine 4 hours after my am abx. with my probiotics.

I do take my multivitamins and anything containing calcium or magnesium or iron 2 hours away from my abx, still wondering about B-vitamins though. And hopefully vitamin A is ok also, I take those with my abx. Anyone know for sure?

Do not take vitamins or acidophilis with abxs .
Always wait 2or3 hrs after abxs.
