Can Omeprazole (Prilosec's generic) and Ursodiol (Actigall's generic) be mixed together...

I've been taking them about 1/2 hour apart.  Omeprazole (Prilosec's generic) first in jello.  Than Ursodiol (Actigall's generic) in yogurt 15 mins to 1/2 hour later.  Any reason they can't be both sprinkled into the same yogurt and taken together?  Just trying to save work as it's a chore to eat plus take all these meds now.  lol :-)

When I was taking Ursodiol, I took it in the morning with my multivitamin and omeprazole.

I would call a pharmacist to be sure:).  I wait an hour after my PPI to eat and two hours to take others meds/vitamins.  That's just me, tho.

Good advice, Stephanie. PPIs can interfere with the absorption of many meds..

I will definitely ask my Dr about this Monday (4 week post op) because I take both of these myself at the same time (in full pill form, not sprinkled).

My NP just called me back and said that it's better to take the Prilosec 30 mins before food and the Actigall with food.  But she said I can try them together if my stomach doesn't get upset it's fine.
