A member asked:
I have to take phenoxymethylpenicillin, but i have a sensitive stomach. can i take it with food?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not recommended: Your goal is to maximize blood concentration of Penicillin v. Food will slow the absorption rate from stomach to blood, and thus decrease the effective concentration and potency. Recommended to take at least an hour before and/or 2 hours after a meal.
