Fasting question
Can you have medication with water while intermittent fasting?
Short answer
Medication taken with water should not be skipped just because you are fasting unless your clinician tells you to change it.
Step by step
1
Look up the calories and ingredients for medication with water.
2
Choose a rule before the fast starts so you are not deciding while hungry.
3
Use the same rule for at least a few fasts before judging whether it works.
Example
If medication with water makes you hungrier, switch back to water, plain tea, or black coffee for a cleaner test.
