Can you take aspirin while taking aciphex?

Answer 1

I am going to assume that you are taking Aciphex because of an ulcer. Biaxin is a generic antibiotic for Clarithromycin. Sometimes antibiotics are given in conjunction with ulcer medication. So yes you can take them both. Remember to follow your doctor's advice. Take all of the antibiotics as prescribed. People sometimes stop taking antibiotics because they feel better. Don't do this. Take them all as prescribed. The reason for prescribing an ulcer med with an antibiotic is because sometimes ulcer are caused by a bacterium. The ulcer med reduces stomach acid which will alleviate symptoms and the antibiotic will kill off the bacteria. So take them both as prescribed. If this does not help with your ulcer problem you might want to check with your doctor about a triple antibiotic therapy.

Answer 2

Stomach acid is necessary to breakdown stomach contents and distribute them through your body, medications included. Proton inhibitors such as Aciphex

reduces stomach acid therefore limiting the ability to do this as effectively as this might otherwise be accomplished. Antibiotics need to get into the bloodstream in full potency and quickly, so its not advisable to allow these drugs to be made less potent, if it can be avoided. If you cannot temporarily discontinue the the Aciphex,

make sure your doctor instructs you on the best time to take the medications to get the best possible absorption (i.e.

with or without food) Very important you ask your doctor for specifics on this. He may suggest another more suitable/compatible antibiotic to work with your Aciphex

.

Levaquin should be okay, Ceftin is more an issue I believe.

Answer 3

you can overdose your body on aspirin which is really dangerous
