A member asked:
I'm taking xanax, pepcid maximum strength otc and the off brand tums together as needed? is there anything i need to worry about with this combination and is there a certain length of time apart?

I think the pepcid is best taken first thing in the morning before the stomach cells begin secreting acid. The xanax should be taken at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after any Tums are taken so that its absorption won't be interfered with.
