Medications
Modern medicine is truly amazing, but very often, medicines come with an attached price that is separate from the price tag. You take the antibiotic my husband has to take now. Well, he has to take it, not you, but it's a good example of what I mean. He must not take it in proximity with anything that has calcium. The calcium will coat the medication (the pill?) and render it useless. Reading all the fine print, he also discovered that he shouldn't take it with one of the diabetic medications that he's taking. And, he shouldn't have tea or coffee during the 8 days he's taking this medication.
That seriously cuts into what he can drink. I know water is what is best, but how often a cup of good tea or coffee hits the spot. And, a glass of milk really does make the medicine go down easier. Sigh.
