Can you take Prilosec and Zantac together?

Answer by  cangel818 (981)

According to my research you can take Prilosec and Zantac on the same day but not at the same time. Although it has not been found that the two drugs will have a bad reaction when taken together it is best to take them a few hours apart.

Because there are no drug interactions between these two it is possible to take them together but at different times during the day. For instance you can take the Prilosec in the morning and then you can take the Zanctac before bed. It is best to see how your own body reacts.

Checking several drug interaction list there does not seem to be any major drug interaction. Though some suggest to take them at different times if taken on the same day

I was told to take both by my Dr. but at different times...Prilosec is a Proton Pump inhibitor which decreases acid production and Zantac works differently as a Histamine Blocker...
