A member asked:
Can i take omeprazole at night? say, before bedtime? it says take 30 minutes before a meal, but can i just take it before bed instead?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You can take Omeprazole before bed but ideally it should be taken before you eat because it activates more readily after it is on board and then you eat a meal. Often taking it in the am seems to work best before breakfast.
