When I started Questran a couple of weeks ago I was told, as a rule,

take all other medications/supplements at least 2 hours before, or 4

hours after the Questran to be certain that it didn't bind anything

My Doctor perscribed Rifampin on an empty stomach. It usually makes me

nauseous though, so Most times I take it with my breakfast, then before

bed.

Why are you taking both Rifampin and Questran? When I started on the

Rifampin, Dr. said to stop the Questran. Questran did nothing for my

itching, but Rifampin has helped me a great deal. Still itchy, but 80

percent less.
