A member asked:

When taking naproxen, it says not to take indigestion tablets 2 hours before or after your dose. is it safe to take indigestion tablets after 2 hours?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It should: It should be but you may need to leave off any alcohol as this might cause further problems with your reflux. Also your Naproxen may need to be changed to a different medication in light of your reflux.
