A member asked:

Taking zantac and nexium (esomeprazole) together safe?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Chiu answered

Safe but why?: Nexium (esomeprazole) should be taken 30-60 mins before the first meal and zantac nearly at any time. There is no major advantage in taking them both at the same time.
