Hi all:

I was just reading through some other posts and was wondering about med spacing. For me, I take Asacol twice a day and then my probiotic at night as well. I take my Asacol and probiotic together...is this ok??

Of course I take my metamucil apart from the other meds, usually sometime in the afternoon. My concern is the Asacol and Probiotic. Thoughts??

Thanks!

Take all your pills at once (Asacol). Studies showed no difference in taking them 2 or 3 times daily versus all at once. Asacaol in the AM, Probiotics and night.

Right now I'm taking VSL 3 times a day (or 4 if I remember) so..... the VSL folks say it doesn't matter when that is taken, and I just don't worry about it.

I take Asacol 4 times a day. Couldn't possibly take all 16 pills at once...... lol
