Good morning, I have prescribed Macromax 3 tablets for bronchitis. I have to take three days. I did not read that I have to take on the empty stomach and today I took the first tablet right after the meal. Will this greatly reduce its effect, even if I take the remaining tablets correctly? I get tired of coughing a lot, after how many days is there usually an improvement?

The summary of product characteristics indicate that the medicine can be taken with or without food. The therapeutic substance will certainly slide in as it should and will work effectively. If the doctor recommended using the above preparation between meals, please follow this recommendation. I add additional information in the form of a leaflet: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/45653/macromax-tabletki-powlekane/ulotka/148058 During and after antibiotic treatment, it is recommended to use a preparation supplementing the bacterial flora (probiotic) in order to prevent possible side effects on the part of the digestive system, for example: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/42092/lacidofil-kapsulki/apteki?pvid=41299#internetowe https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/50697/multilac-synbiotyk-kapsulki/apteki?pvid=256073#internetowe https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/69127/sanprobi-super-formula-kapsulki/apteki?pvid=177070#internetowe The above preparations contain in their composition several strains of beneficial lactobacteria and bifidobacteria, which are part of the normal microflora of our intestines. And inulin and fructooligosaccharides stimulating the development of these strains. Preaparat supports the reconstruction and maintenance of flora during and after antibiotic therapy, prevents m.in flatulence, constipation, abdominal pain. When it comes to coughing, please be patient. Unfortunately, sometimes a cough can last longer than just a course of antibiotics. In addition to the antibiotic, you need to take cough medicines depending on its type. These can be syrups, tablets with antitussive or expectorant action: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/kaszel-suchy https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/kaszel-mokry
