Assuming I will be taking the Vitalady schdeule of vitamins, when is a good time to take my prilosec?  I take two a day but I take them together.  It doesnt seem to make a difference when I take them now preop, symptom control wise.  But post op, I dont want it to interfere with the vitamins.  I dont have problem splitting them up either in the future.  any thoughts?

I know vitamins like an acidic environment. You might want to take them a half hour apart from your vites.

I take mine with a lactose pill first thing in the morning, wait about 30 minutes then do a protein shake and by then about an hour to 90 minutes after the prilosec I start pills with food.

You may have to tweak yours depending on how you feel but I try to space everything 60-90 minutes at least

I take mine first thing in the morning.  The Dr. told me not to take it near your vits because it can interfere with absorption.  My hematologist told me to take it as far as possible from my iron, because it does interfere with iron absorption. 

Hope this helps!
