Hey, I've been wondering if it's okay to start taking vitamin B12 tablets without checking in with a doctor first. Also, is there a specific time of day that's best for taking them?

View allI'm dealing with a sore throat from a bacterial infection, and my doctor told me to take Azithromycin 500mg once a day for 3 days. I'm wondering if it's okay to take the first dose at night, or should I wait until tomorrow morning? And if I do take it tonight, when should I take the second one, tomorrow morning or tomorrow night?
-You can take the first dose at night. After that, take the second dose the following morning and continue once a day for the next two days as prescribed. Make sure to space the doses about 24 hours apart for best results.
