Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take antibiotics or other medications whilst on the program?
As the program is conducted over a period of approximately 18 weeks, participants will need to take medications, either their regularly prescribed existing medications or a short course of antibiotics for example.
As KicStart™ is formulated as a food for special medical purposes, and is literally a nutritionally complete meal albeit in the form of a shake or soup, there is no reason you would need to alter how you take any tablets that you would have normally taken “with food”. If you have any concerns, speak with your pharmacist or GP.
Any pre-existing regular medications you take should be closely monitored during the course of the program and where dosage adjustments are needed these should be handled by consulting with your supervising healthcare provider as soon as possible if you have any concerns. However if you still have a query about the program and how it relates to a medical condition you have or certain medications you are taking, please contact the Healthy Weight for Life Team and ask to speak with the pharmacist on staff about your concerns.
