Different times for different medication

[I_OYVEY]

i hope this in not a medical question. i take 10 medications. the medications i take that say take onedaily, i take all at once in the morning. of course, there are medications that say take every 4 hours or 6 hoursi adhere to the schedule. when in thehospital they spread out the medication all through the day and night, notethese medications are the ones i take one daily at the same time, in themorning. is there a reason forthis? is there somewhere i can go tofind out if i should spread these meds out as they do in the hospital? thank you.

I would say you probably need to speak to your PCP or even pharmacist and ask what you should be doing. Sometimes medication is separated due to interactions but then your pharmacist should check this out with you

Thank you very much for the information.

I would think that taking 10 meds at once might lead to stomach upset. For this reason as well, I would check with the pharmacist or PCP.

If you have found that there are no interactions, and you don't have stomach problems, go for it! At least you are taking them.
