Can omeprazole be taken with food, or is it best taken on an empty stomach to ensure maximum absorption and effectiveness in controlling stomach acid production?
Omeprazole should be taken on an empty stomach, ideally 30 minutes before a meal, for optimal absorption and effectiveness.
Omeprazole works best when taken on an empty stomach about 30 minutes to an hour before eating breakfast.
To maximize effectiveness, take omeprazole before meals, as food can delay its absorption and reduce its efficacy.
