    i would do whatever the instructions said on the pack, if it say take with water, then do, and there are normally dos and donts on the packaging or on a leaflet inside, im sure it will say if you cant take with soda, all meds are different, so best to check.

    It's not bad taking it with soda, if your medicine makes it so that you are dehydrated, you should take either OJ or water with it. Mainly because soda makes you dehydrated.

    Orange Juice(freshly squeezed). without pulp too. i like Pepsi yet it quite is sticky and soda is amazingly undesirable, no count what every physique says. it particularly is a actuality that soda is particularly the worst drink for you. Milk of path is great and intense in calcium yet drink fat unfastened milk. Thats the perfect and if u dont drink fat unfastened, drink a million% or 2%. nutrition water is nice yet its no longer continuously so great to drink. My well-liked is definitely orange juice theory. or maybe nonetheless i drink it without pulp it advance into yet another actuality that the pulp is particularly the healthiest part of the drink.

    depends on the medication really.....most are fine to drink w/anything.......some cannot be taken w/certain juices such as grapefruit juice cuz it can effect how the medication works........some medications may need to be taken with a specific amount of water to help them dissolve enough........
