I have gastritis and reflux. and lots of bile. i was taking nexium and dr gave me sucralfate. all he said was finish nexium can i take together ?

Space them out: take the nexium at least 30 minutes before taking the sucralfate, as the latter can affect the absorption of nexium. Good that you asked, always exercise caution with multiple medications, best wishes
