Have you seen any mention here on how antibiotics should be taken? For example, eat on an empty stomach, don’t eat this, don’t do that, something along those lines.

I tried searching the forum and listened to a few podcasts where antibiotics were mentioned, but didn’t find any “peatish guidelines”. I guess following the instructions on the bottle is enough?
It depends on the anti-biotic. Dairy interferes with the absorption of the tetracycline derivatives, for instance.

How long do you think is enough time until it’s okay to eat something? Would something like 40-60 minutes be enough? That’s how long it usually takes in the morning until I eat something, so if I took the pill when I wake up and do my normal morning things and eat, would that be fine?
The pharmacist said to avoid dairy for 3-4 hours and the informative label says 1-2 hours. I’ll probably keep it safe and won’t eat dairy for 3-4 hours.
Follow the directions of your pharmacist.
