Complete the full antibiotic course as prescribed.
No urgent need to discuss, but always keep your doctor informed of your full supplement and medication list. An up-to-date list helps them make the best treatment decisions.
Safe combination at standard doses. Continue your medication as prescribed. Inform your doctor or pharmacist that you are using both, so they can monitor for any changes over time.
