i’ve emailed dr. p, and looked all over this site, but i can’t pin down an answer about zegerid and zantac together. are they safe to give at the same time, do they need to be spaced apart, if so how long? i see that the delayed release ppis need to be spaced out 4 hours (from what im reading), but i don’t see anything about zegerid.

it’s a horrible night…i wish i knew what to do. ACK

I would say that yes zantac & zegerid need to be spaced apart. there is prilosec, a PPI, in zegerid and zantac is another ‘kind’ of med. so yes, try for 4hrs but, if you’re desperate, then see what 2 hrs does- our ped GI told us 2 hours and it was fine for us- but the majority of drs of people posting here have said up to 5 hrs- so I usually post to wait 4 hrs- but by all means experiment if need be

his response to me asking if i can give zantac 4 hrs apart, or at all, with zegerid was:

Zantac blocks the action of Zegerid so if you are giving it then that would explain why it is not working

this is a little hard for me to figure out… i thought other moms were giving their babes zantac with ppis, but spaced apart..i don’t know if he means you can’t give zantac at ALL, or what. very confusing.
