Taking Meds Can Be A Pain.......Literally I used to struggle taking my meds. Let's face it, looking at a hand full of pills every morning isn't too appetizing. In addition to that, meds can be hard on our stomachs. I have found two things that help me in this department. First of all, I take Zantac every day. I had acid reflux before I was diagnosed with RA. Taking all these medications hasn't helped that issue any. I also take my meds in the morning with yogurt. Then I drink a glass of water. Yogurt coats the capsules and other meds and the yogurt seems to protect my stomach. I am not a doctor, or a health care professional of any kind. I am just sharing my personal experience. On the days I take Methotrexate, I take it after a full meal, and usually in the evening. This seems to minimize any gastrointestional upset for me.
