Hey guys,

Can Flagyl be taken w/dairy and mag-tab supplements?

Any info will be greatly appreciated. [Big Grin]

Just want to be careful because of how doxy cannot be taken w/dairy or mag-tab.

Thanks in advance, Stella

Check Interactions1 potential interaction was found for the drugs you selected.
You searched for interactions between the following drugs:

Flagyl Oral
Magnesium Citrate Solution
Magnesium Gluconate
Magnesium Hydroxide
Add or Delete Drugs

Start Over with a New List of Drugs

(Note: Not all drug interactions are known or reported in the literature, and new drug interactions are continually being reported. This information is provided only for your education and for you to discuss with your personal healthcare provider. )

ALCOHOL may interact with METRONIDAZOLE (in Flagyl Oral)

Metronidazole may interfere with the breakdown of alcohol. If this happens, harmful by-products from the alcohol may accumulate in the body and this may cause intolerable or otherwise undesirable side effects. Potential side effects include facial flushing, feeling lightheaded, nausea and vomiting, a rapid or pounding heart beat, and shortnesss of breath or difficulty breathing. Avoid all alcoholic beverages and alcohol-containing products (such as some cough syrups and elixirs) while you are using metronidazole tablets or suppositories. Ask your healthcare provider about these drugs and this potential interaction as soon as possible.

This interaction is poorly documented and is considered moderate in severity.

Personaly I take any suppliment (mag)or B vitamins etc at least 2hrs before or after abx's.

If you can get 4 hrs after& before
My Opinion. [group hug]
