A member asked:

Can i split z-pack dose? the last time i took 2 pills at the same time it made me sick to my stomach. i asked the pharmacist and he said i could.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Split dose: I would suggest that on day 1 when 2 pills are used taking 1 pill in the morning after a full breakfast and 1 pill after dinner on a full stomach. Avoid alcohol and citrus juices.
