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