Drug and food interactions
erythromycin food
Applies to: Erythrocin Lactobionate (erythromycin)
Food decreases the levels of erythromycin in your body. Take erythromycin on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes before or 2 hours after a meal. This will make it easier for your body to absorb the medication. However, some erythromycin products may be taken without regard to meals. Ask your healthcare provider about your particular prescription if you are uncertain of how to take it. Grapefruits and grapefruit juice may increase erythromycin levels but how this may affect you is not known. Do not increase or decrease the amount of grapefruit products in your diet without first talking to your doctor.
cephalexin food
Applies to: cephalexin
Cephalexin and multivitamin with minerals should not be taken orally at the same time. Products that contain zinc may interfere with the absorption of cephalexin into the bloodstream and reduce its effectiveness. You should take multivitamin with minerals at least three hours after taking cephalexin. Talk to a healthcare professional if you are not sure whether a product contains something that could potentially interact with your medication or if you have questions on how to take this or other medications you are prescribed. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
