A member asked:

How long should i wait between taking apriso and prilosec. if i wait to take the ppi, then it won't be on empty stomach. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Prilosec: I think prilosec would still be effective even if the stomach isn't completely empty. Your local pharmacist can be helpful in answering questions about your medications.
