A member asked:

If i take a dose of mylanta and take a xanax (alprazolam) in 30minutes will mylanta affect my xanax (alprazolam)? does it make xanax (alprazolam) not work as well?

Dr. Alan Ali answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Antacids/Xanax: Antacids may slightly lower levels of Xanax (alprazolam). Try taking Xanax (alprazolam) either 1 hour before or 1 hour after the Mylanta.
