Q: You say we should take PectaSol in the a.m. and p.m. Will it interfere with the other medications or supplements I take at those rimes?--E.W., e-mail
A: It could. Dietary fibers, like those in pectin and alginate, have the potential to bind to drugs and could, conceivably, affect their absorption. Ideally, you should take PectaSol two hours before or after eating. But this is simply not possible for most people, including me. Nor is it necessary. Here's what I recommend: Take PectaSol on an empty stomach and separate the doses as much as possible, like first thing in the morning and before going to bed.
