lansoprazole and naproxen

[agtf1]

hi, I’ve just been prescribed naproxen to take “as and when needed” for the pain and told to take lansoprazole the same day.

the problem is I don’t always know at breakfast time (when I’m meant to take the lansoprazole) if I’ll need the naproxen later. So should I take the lansoprazole every day just in case? Or can it be taken later in the day?

thanks in advance

when ever you decide to take lansoprazol, just take it half an hour before food.

I hope it helps your stomach.

Well I have to take lansoprazole every morning to stop my food from coming back up, gastric reflux they call it. So I can only assume that this is what it is for. Sorry if no help

you can take it later in the day as long as it’s 30-60 minutes before food. Make sure you drink a big glass of water with it. If you don’t it can make you feel a bit sick. Well, it did for me anyway.
