@suzyqueue I take my meds all together on an empty stomach. I find I do not get too much nausea with them. Since they are 3 days a week, I try to space it out so there is not such a big gap between the 3rd dose for the week and the 1st dose for the next week. I take my them on Monday morning at like midnight or shortly after. Then on Wed I take about 11 am then on Friday I take in the late afternoon. Of course I have to make sure my stomach is empty so I adjust meals or snacks to make sure I haven't eaten within 4 hours of any of the doses. It has been working out OK so far.

Thank you so much for the information. I'm prescribed to take these every day. I've been spacing them out every couple hours but it's such a hassle. I've been curious about taking them all at once. I may try it. Then again, my Infectious Disease Dr is doing another "succeptibility" test on a sputum sample to see if all 3 meds are what I still should be on. I didn't have much improvement in my last CT scan so something may need to be changed. Thanks again.
