A member asked:
Is it smart to take a calcium, magnesium and b12 supplement in the morning, and then take omeprazole (prilosec) in the afternoon after dinner?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May be: It dosent make much difference since the Omeprazole blocks the proton pumps for about 24 hrs. You v=can still take the supplements as you mentioned. Not much difference in absorption will be noted.
