Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Propantheline bromine and omeprazole should be taken on an empty stomach, so the antacid should be taken 2 hours after taking the propantheline to avoid interfering with its absorption. Taking the antacid with a meal or with milk is not necessary for this patient. Taking the antacid with the propantheline may interfere with absorption of the propantheline.
