Taking pills at the same time?

[mum2JK&TH]

difficult child now has to take the Clonidine in the morning. Do most of your difficult child's take their pills together? difficult child takes his Concerta in the morning and I was wondering if I can give him the Clonidine at the same time or do I have to make it a different time, like 1/2 hr apart?

Does it matter?

I take a handful of pills at the same time. In fact we joke that I should rattle when I take my medications at night. husband cant figure out how I can swallow so many at one time because I take 9 pills or more in one mouthful at a time.

Most things you can take at the same time. There are a few over the counter medications that interact with RX medications though. Usually the pharmacist will mention them during your review when getting a new medication.

A lot of the time it doesn't matter. You could check with your pharmacist.

kt takes 3 different medications in the morning, 2 in the afternoon & 3 again at night.

It's really never been a problem here.

It's never been a problem for my kids. If you're concerned, however, ask your pharmacist or psychiatrist.

easy child is on Concerta and also on a blood pressure medication (as Clonodine is) called Captopril.

He always takes them both at the same time in the A.M. Never been a problem.

Dylan takes all his pills at one shot too. I wouldn't worry over it. If it becomes a concern, I, too, would just call the psychiatrist.

difficult child takes them all in one handfull. Poor thing at one time he had to swallow 9-he did them all at once every day.

easy child only takes her one at a time but all at the same time of day.

I take several at once even though some are supposed to be on an empty stomach and some with food.
