A member asked:

I'm taking lansoprazole 30 mg a day is it safe to take over-the-counter antacids at the same time something like tums (calcium carbonate)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes : It is ok to take additional antacid medication however i would let your doctor know that the prescription strength medicine is not working completely.
