Question
I am taking Augmentin 800 - an antibiotic (infection in the nose + external). I started taking it on Tuesday - twice a day. They claim that it should not be stopped in the middle. How should I proceed?
Answer
Hello,
On the eve of Yom Kippur, you can take it in the morning and before the fast.
On the morning of the fast, you can swallow the pill on Yom Kippur without drinking.
If you cannot swallow without drinking, you may swallow it with a small amount of water that has been made bitter with tea essence or salt, etc.
