I'm on amoxicillin for an ear infection. is it safe for me to take tums (calcium carbonate)? if i can, how long should i wait until i take my medicine after taking tums (calcium carbonate)?

Absorption: I feel that it's best not to take medications at the same time as you take antacids as proper absorption may be impaired. Take the amoxicillin either an hour before or two hours after the Tums (calcium carbonate) to be sure.
