Morning, Noon, In-between, Night and at Bedtime... and then some !

Ketoconazole. Jerry takes two (2) of these 3 times a day... first thing in the morning and without food... and then two other times during the day ... it's quite the scheduling task to get these pills taken without food.
To help Jerry with his digestive system he also takes Herbulk, Ultra Flora Plus DF and Proboulardi. All these have been recommended by the Gastroenterologist. $25.00 for each bottle... not to mention the Vancomycin and Flagyl for the C-diff when needed.

Jerry takes another hand full of pills at noontime. Of course, the purple pill is Nexium ... which anyone would need after taking all the other pills.
After dinner Jerry takes all these... this takes about 3-4 handfuls to get all these down !

Before bedtime, Jerry takes two (2) inject ables routinely.

Then depending on Jerry's blood work sometimes he also takes additional inject ables like Intron, Neumega, Procrit and/or Aranesp.
Additionally, he'll take medication for diarrhea, such as immodium, Kaopectate, and/or Pepto Bismol.

Yikes that is a lot of pills and shots! It's almost like you have to take pills because of the effects of some of the other pills! If they work...they are more than worth it...
