Hello all, I have just been prescribed prophylactic antibiotics to take 3 times a week. As they interact with Omeprazole when do people take theirs, morning or night time?

Thank you for your advice.

What kind of antibiotics are they. I assume they are daily so maybe evening.

Hi, I take azithromycin and omeprazole too, and take them both in the evening. I just make sure I take them two hours apart. Having said that I think, perhaps, that the two hour rule applies to indigestion remedies like gaviscon, rather than "proton pump inhibitors" such as omeprazole. But, not sure. Gill
