Sometimes you just have to if I waited the advised 2 hrs between my thyroxin & eating anything with calcium & iron I'd never get food or drink in before work let alone the rest of meds.

I was sent home with Iron in liquid, lanzaropole melt in your mouth, paracetamol tablets and Tramadol capsules.
I was told not to take chewable as not as good as the tablets but I checked them agents the amounts in the 'normal' tables and they almost identical.

Oooh, I wasn't told that! I take my calcichew at the same time as my multivits / minerals in the morning. Also, ramipril, bisoprolol & amiodarone! I hate having to take all this stuff! I'll try to remember to ask at my next appointment.

I take 1 forceval, 1 zinc sulphate, 1 ant acid, 1 calceos chewable calcium & up until today was taking 20 ml of iron medicine. Went to see my gp today and told her I couldn't take the taste of the iron anymore so she gave me it in tablet form! I was told NOT to take bassetts chewable vitamins as they are for everyday use & not for post op as we need more if that makes sense lol but all hospitals are different x x

Dinda that's awful, I was NHS too,my hospital sent me home with everything I need, they are now giving me appointments with dietitian every month and she writes to my gp to tell her what I need to be prescribed!

Me too, but my hospital gave me a list to take to my GP to prescribe.
