Amoxicillin 875 And Antacids
2 Topics FoundI am taking Amox-clav 875 mg and also taking Omeprazole 20 mg.is there any interaction between these two drugs? Does omeprazole decreases the effectiness of antibiotic? Also taking prednisone 10mg.pls let me know. ## Hello, Mary! How are you? No, I didn't find any interactions listed between them, but it's always best to double check this information to be certain. It's usually the antacids that contain calcium, such as Tums that can affect the absorption of some antibiotics. This antibiotic may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Are there any other comments or questions?

Also taking prednisone 10mg.pls let me know. ## Hello, Mary! How are you? There are no interactions or problems listed, it's usually with the calcium containing antacids, since they can coat your stomach and prevent absorption of the antibiotics. However, if you wish to be sure, you should take them about 2 hours apart, unless your doctor instructs otherwise. This antibiotic may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?
