Before food tablet
I am a lactating mother recovering from c-section (it's been 10 days of delivery). My doctor has given me before food and after food tablet. 2 times I have missed taking the before food tablet. Is there any other way of taking the tablet for the missed dose? Is it ok to skip the before food tablet and take only the after food tablet?

Since you haven't mentioned the names of the medicines, it is difficult to give an exact reply.
The common tablet before food is the tablet for gastritis like Pantop, Rantac etc. Skipping them can lead to gastritis if you are taking antibiotics.
Next Steps
Always follow your doctor's advice.
