After a given drug from a doctor is usually recommended order drink .. well, if for example different kinds of medicine, suppose there are 5 types of drugs. each have 5 packs. but on each day, 5 medication should be taken. the question is, whether 5 the drug must be taken simultaneously or may be drunk with no lag time (eg 3 types of drugs first, after a few hours and then drink 2 next medicine), because it was afraid that if taken at the same time there is fear of bad effects .. or how should .. please answer ....???? Thanks

Its always better to keep a gap when you take medicines. The medicines get enough time to be assimilated inside our body at least partly.

Hi gengeni! I think if you have been given all these tablets/meds by your doctor then there is no harm in taking them although I must say that you should read the labels or leaflets that come along with it before taking them. Like for example, some meds are to be taken before a meal or after a meal. Also take note of the dosage that it was written on your prescription by your doctor. If it is to be taken daily - once, twice, thrice or 4 times a day. Has your doc told you to take them all in one go at a certain time of day? If the doctor prescribed these then I'm sure he/she knows that these meds will not "clash" or have bad effects when taken together. Some recommend you take one tablet at a time then wait for, say a few minutes before taking the next and so on. Anyways, I hope you can consult your doctor on this and tell him/her what you fear about taking these meds and I'm sure he/she will enlighten you on this matter. Hope all goes well with you! :) Happy Holidays! :)
