A member asked:

Omeprazole 20mg cannot take wif iron tablet(sangobion) ? i already take for 2mths together with iron tablet but wif 2hrs apart. scare iron not absorb

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You're OK: Iron is absorbed in a more acid environment, that's why you need to separate the pills. But ppis like Omeprazole can lower your acid so far that they impact iron absorption all day. They also can make osteoporosis worse, lead to infections like pneumonia and colitis, and shouldn't be taken forever. If you have reflux, you should consider an antireflux procedure or surgery.
