Drug and food interactions
tamsulosin food
Applies to: Flomax (tamsulosin)
Food may affect the intestinal absorption of tamsulosin. You should take tamsulosin approximately one-half hour following the same meal each day to ensure steady absorption and blood levels of the drug.
zinc acetate food
Applies to: Galzin (zinc acetate)
You may experience reduced absorption of zinc acetate in the presence of certain foods. Bread, bran, hard boiled eggs, coffee, and milk may significantly decrease the absorption of zinc acetate. Take zinc acetate on an empty stomach 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal unless otherwise directed by your doctor. This will make it easier for your body to absorb the medication. Zinc acetate may be taken with small amounts of protein such as meat.
