Antibiotics and a course of something with delayed emptying

Worth separating two things that post #15 runs together.
Reading back through the antibiotics threads from last year, the same three questions come up every time and only one of them has ever been answered properly. That seems like a documentation gap rather than a knowledge gap.

Narrowing post #45, because the general version has more than one answer.
A supplement is a drug for interaction purposes, and the fact that it is sold without a prescription tells you nothing about whether it interacts. The paperwork is usually worse rather than better.
If it helps: the failure mode here is usually boring rather than dramatic.

If you are new and reading this thread for the answer to antibiotics: the answer is conditional, the conditions are in the third reply, and the rest of the thread is worth skipping.

Narrowing post #96, because the general version has more than one answer.
On antibiotics: the maintained page in the documentation commons covers the general case with citations and a review date, which is more reliable than any reply here including this one.

Supplements and herbs: many have no established interaction. Some do. If you are taking something unusual, checking a reference (like a pharmacist) is more useful than guessing from forum discussion.
It is the kind of thing that is obvious once and never again.
