Steroids.. General Meds w/Food Question

[Daisalana 33]

I guess I haven't had to take meds that require you to eat with them since banding..

I have some steroids I'm suppose to take, and they have goofy directions.

Yesterday I was to take 2 tablets 'after' supper. That's really hard for me, drinking after eating hurts and causes spitting up. So I suffered through spitting up dissolved meds, ick.

Today's directions say take one 'before' Breakfast. Take one 'after' lunch and 'after' supper.

Now why would it be so specific?? Anyone know if it really matters? I've decided to avoid the issues and taking them all 'before' I eat. But I've never seen something say take one specifically before and one specifically after different meals. :confused2:

Have you done any online search of the med name and looked for more info?

It sounds like you are taking one of those steriod 6-day packs in tin foil. They are specific with when you need to take them. Steriods are very tricky things and require to be taken throughout the day, or at least those 6 day packs are.. it seems weird, but you really should follow what it says because it can cause your body to react weirdly if you don't.
