A member asked:
Is it okay to combine h2 blockers like zantac (ranitidine) with proton pump inhibitors (ppi)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure, best at night: Some ppi's don't last all day, so acid production rises by evening. Such patients may benefit from either a second dose of ppi medication before dinner, a switch to a longer acting ppi, or the addition of h2 blocker medication at bedtime.
