I've been told to take 3 pills ONCE a week by my doctor - is this 3 all in one go??

Or spread evenly over the week?

Sorry if it's obvious it's just that it's confused me somewhat.

TIA

Phrased like that, I would say you take all 3 at the same time but that sounds very odd. If I were you, I would either ring the doctor and ask them to clarify, or, alternatively, ring the chemist you got them from (or any chemist). They should be able to tell you.

What are they

Ring doc tomorrow.

No idea.

I would call the surgery to clarify.

What does it say on the pack?

Misterbumpbump · 08/03/2015 20:09

Thanks for your replies and advice, I've just phoned the pharmacy I got them from and he said it's definitely 3 in one go.
(although still seems a bit weird but I am sure they know what they are talking about)

They are Colecalciferol (Vitamin D supplement, I've recently discovered I'm deficient).

My DS1 takes these, he has 6 a day! Shock

Id say they would be taken all in one go as they are a supplement rather than like an antibiotic or something. Go to the pharmacy, they can tell you.

Misterbumpbump · 08/03/2015 20:12

Oh gosh, really. Do they work? I am hoping they will make me feel less drained, my energy levels are zero at the moment!
