Can I take Periostat® with food or dairy products, including milk?
Periostat® is best taken on an empty stomach with a full glass of water (8 ounces). Taking Periostat® with meals may reduce its absorption, so it is recommended that it be taken 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. Dairy products including milk may reduce the absorption of Periostat® and should be avoided around the time of your Periostat® dose. It is, however, okay to use a small amount of milk or cream in coffee or tea.
