What Should Be Done When Antibiotics Must Be Taken With Food on a Fast Day?

AA

Question

Hello, I was given antibiotics yesterday that must be taken three times a day at fixed times, and they must be taken with food and not on an empty stomach. Tomorrow there is the fast of Ta'anit Esther, and I am not sure what to do (is it possible to eat something small in order to take the antibiotics?)

Answer

Hello and blessings

You should not fast at all.

With blessings,

Benjamin Shmueli
