antiacids use when taking ethambutol ## According to the article linked below, Antacids interfere with ethambutol, making it less effective. Therefore it is recommended that you take ethambutol 1 hour before or 2 hours after antacids. Referenced from: nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a682550.html I hope this info helps!
