    Exercise

    I don't take dairy products around the same time either. She said it is better to be safe than sorry.

    new warning label on zithromax

    new warning label on zithromax

    My sister is a pharmacist. The reason not to do this is the Zithromax will harden with the calcium in your stomach. Not a good thing. Make sure you don't take anything with calcium in it 1 hour before and 2 hours after.
