Patient: Can I take this medicine with dairy products?

Eliza; You want to know about dairy products?

Patient: Yes, will it be bad to take this medicine with dairy products?

Eliza: You seem to be very interested in dairy products.

Patient: Can I or can I not take this medicine with diary products?!?!?

Elize: You are getting very excited. Let us change to a different topic.

Patient: AAAARRRRRRRGGGGGG!!!!!
