A member asked:
Will taking an otc medicine such as prilosec or zegerid interfere with prescription meds such as metformin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Otc Prilosec et. Al. Will change the acidity of the stomach. Some rx meds need the acid to be absorbed. Take the Prilosec alone at bedtime. Take any and all other meds at least 2 hours before or the next morning.
