 [ Symptoms ] can you get a flu shot and the whooping cough vaccine at the same time or does it cause problems  we have had several patients tell us they have heard not to get the 2 shots together   but we have never heard that & our health department says it is fine [ Disease ] some medications have to be taken on an empty stomach because it helps the medication dissolve and get into your bloodstream quicker certain medications need to be taken around the same time every day so you have a consistent level in your bloodstream and body a good example of this is blood pressure medications    you should take your dose at the same time each day so you benefit from the medication if you ever have any questions about how to take your medications ask your pharmacist we are happy to help
