When To Take Tablets?
Spent most of yesterday in A&E and was given some tablets that say not to take indigestion remedies within 2 hours or 2 hours before.
Is it ok to take my lanzoporale or do I have to allow 2 hours as well.
i was a bit confused when I left and didn't notice the instructions.

no separate them - er take them separately
if you google it you get
Omeprazole (Prilosec) is a type of drug called a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It's used to treat conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and heartburn. Interaction result. Taking Cipro with omeprazole could make Cipro less effective than usual.
and lansop is omep;s sister
and can the usual people on AB who say I know zippety-zilch about pharmacology please keep their mouths shut ?
Thanks, sorry I am late getting back, PP is right so if you can work out a schedule for the cipro and work the rest around it you will be fine, Two hours is the best gap but if you struggle to keep strictly to that it won't make too much difference if you were a bit out. Just do the best you can You will probably need the 'zole, cipro can upset your gut and anything that helps is worth trying to accomodate. If in doubt in the future always check with your pharmacist, I and others on here can look up interactions etc. In the bnf or the data sheets but a your local pharmacist will be most up to date.
