Antibiotics
As you may be prescribed antibiotics by Dr. Malek, it’s important to inform our office prior to your visit of any allergies or sensitivities. If you are given a prescription, remember that antibiotics only work if taken as prescribed – don’t skip doses or stop early.
Be aware that antibiotics may have a side effect of nausea, and are best taken on a full stomach. (Please see our Food Suggestions below for ideas.) In addition, antibiotics may interfere with the use of birth control pills.
Sedatives
If you choose to take any of the following sedative medications, we will require that someone provides you a ride to and from our office. Please bring any remaining sedative pills or tablets with you to your appointment, and remember to eat when you take them.
- Ativan (Lorazepam)
- Valium (Diazepam)
- Halcion (Triazolam)
