@pharmy2012: Many things can affect how quickly your medication is absorbed, but did you know your body position might make one of the biggest differences? (don’t worry: no handstands needed). Disclaimer: some medications have very specific instructions so always check with your prescription/label and/or prescriber or pharmacist before making any changes. Medications that should be taken sitting up to avoid them getting stuck in the esophagus include (not an all inclusive list): Bisphosphonates, tetracycline, antibiotics, nitrofurantoin, clindamycin, potassium, iron, vitamin C, aspirin, and NSAIDs. ##pharmaceuticals##medicaltiktok##pharmacy##pharmacist##healthtiphttps://me.jhu.edu/news/the-best-way-to-take-a-pill-according-to-science/

Doxycycline - do NOT take doxycycline and then lay down. You will get chemical burns in your esophagus- ask me how I know. Also don’t dry swallow doxycycline…. For the same reason 😭

I had no idea but I have noticed that if I take my morning Adderal and keep laying down usually on my right side it will kick in quickier and I feel less like a corpse is trying to get ready compared to taking it after I’m already up and moving

Yes! If I take my ambien and lay down- no sleep. If I take it while doing the dishes before bed? Passed out with all the lights on.

My habit of setting an alarm and taking my thyroid medication then going back to bed for an hour (right side sleeper) is so vindicated right now 😂 I started doing this because I like to coffee as soon as I wake up for the day.

I heard this, so I always lie on my right side after taking my Levothyroxine, since it has to absorb before you can eat any food.

Who all was involved in the study? Is this effective across all genders or did the study focus on men?

Does it affect absorption when it gets stuck on the back of your tongue and then it wont get into your throat and then its half dissolved and stuck there slowly disolving

I think this is happening to me, sometimes my ambien just doesn’t work or takes hours. Other times it’s 15 minutes.

Oh weird! I thought laying on your left side caused digestion to increase? (Genuinely curious)
