ModerateCiprofloxacin + Omeprazole

Can you take Ciprofloxacin and Omeprazole together?

This page explains what happens if Ciprofloxacin and Omeprazole are taken together, according to official sources.

What happens

Reduced ciprofloxacin absorption via altered gastric acidity

Omeprazole increases gastric pH, which reduces the solubility and maximum serum concentrations (Cmax) of ciprofloxacin.

Recommended management

Administer ciprofloxacin at least 2 hours before or 4 hours after omeprazole to ensure adequate antimicrobial absorption.
