I started taking a round of cipro & bactrium for 28days. Well when I picked it up at the pharm she told me that I needed to take it when I had no food in my stomach and then wait again about 2 hours after to eat again... how in the WORLD am I suppose to manage this?

I do tube feeds in the morning from about 11pm-6am. I normally don't eat until around 8:30, but then I have lunch at 11:30ish, then I snack and things in the afternoon until dinner, dinner around 5:30, then I snack more until bed and hook up to feeds.

She just basically told me taking it with food (or vitamins) made it pointless to take the med at all... so now I don't know what to do.

So how to you guys fit in cipro.

That's news to me. I've never been told eating was a problem with it--just vitamins. Typically I do eat something with antibiotic, and Cipro has been quite effective for me at times.

I've asked the doctors about this before and they told me to just go ahead and eat whenever and take the Cipro and not to pay attention to that. They just said to make sure not to take my vitamins at the same time as my cipro.

I hate when doctors try and prescribe meds that you have to take on an empty stomach..thats just ridiculous!

If You take Bactrium on a empty Stomach you will
get a belly ache.. I was on oral Bactrium and I had not eaten
like 3 days, a nurse was making me drink OJ. I ended up with
a ulser in my stomach.. The doc said I must have had the starting
of one and the Med and OJ just set it off.

Anyway, I never take it on a empty Stomach anymore.
