do you think it,s ok to wash your medication down with juice think again?

really? wow thank you very much for informing me and the rest of mylot members or mylot community. i am one ot the million people who push down any medications or vitamins with any drink i have in hand. juice, coffee, chocolate, cold tea. now that you told me that i will try to remember it. i hope i do..... or i will tell my wife that i need to drink any meds or vits with plain water. thank you very much for this.

uh-oh.. i sometimes do that.. and i sometimes let my children do it because they cant stand the bitter taste of their medicines.. thanks for sharing this with us.. now i know better...

I have always took mine with water never thought about taking it any other way!

Never knew this. I always popped a pill either with some fruit juice or soft drinks. The reason is many medicine taste very bad if I'm down with headache or fever I often through up and that leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. So I've always taken pills with juice or soft drinks. Now I guess I need to re think...

HI ANNJILENA, MY DEAR FRIEND, i love juices and i strat my day with a glass full of juice or a nice milk shake. but i will never take a pill with my juice. its not correct. medicines are always taken with water. and i think one should always take them with water. i fully agree with you and what you have explained in your discussion. one should be very careful in this .

Oh is that so? I'm glad I am not taking synthetic medication so I have no problem with that. I am more on alternative medicine which is of course all natural and no problem with any blocks that could be caused by other natural food as well. But I am glad you started this topic because at least I could alert friends and relatives who are into synthetic medication. Thanks dear!

thanks so much for this vital information, I have to admit though I take my meds with tea so I don't know if that has an effect or not.

Hey there Oh wow ! I had no idea and thanks for the info . My mom loves juices in the morn and I am sure many times she has taken her pills that way . I will have to drop her a note and let her know . i dont like taking my meds with water because i kinda get a taste in my mouth .

oh my i been using juice this really helped me out thanks a lot for the information for now on iam using water.

I did not know that. I got to make sure i tell my mom because she is always doing that.

O wow I never knew that before. I always did it with just water anyways but that is good to know. Thanks for sharing. Stay healthy :)

Wow, I never knew that. I thought that the whole purpose of drinking water with pills was to make it go down, I didnt know that the actual fluid mattered. I was at a bachelorette party a few days ago and I had a MAJOR headache, so I took two extra strength Exederin pills. I just downed them with some punch, and my head ached took at least 2 hours to go away. At first I was wondering why it took so long, I mean they were extra strength and all. After this post I realized that I guess it was because I drunk Punch when I took them instead of plain water. Thanks for the tip! Will definitely take it into consideration next time I pop a pill!!

really? I usually take my pills without anything to drink if they are small enough. I guess I never really thought that what I was drinking with them could effect them. Is this information printed on the medication information sheets that they give you at the pharmacy? it should be... Thanks for sharing
