A member asked:
How many hours after taking rabeprazole (ppi) or cimetidine do i have to wait to take ferrous fumarate for best absorption?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many hours: I think it will work better for you to take the iron supplement 30-60 minutes prior to taking any PPI which may suppress acid production for more than 10 hours.
