Question We picked up our Vivotif prescription after dinner. The directions said to take one hour before meals but didn't specify how many hours after eating. We took it before we went to bed, which was 3 hours after we ate dinner. Should we continue this dosage time or switch to before breakfast on the next dose?
Answer Hi Elizabeth,
Such questions are always difficult to answer because we are now going to depend on an opinion which is not based on trial results. The best suggestion would be to take the next dose before breakfast and then continue the schedule of before breakfast, and hope for th best.
