Hi all of you on PPI's,
Have read a lot of posts about people taking this medication, and in one I read that the person took it after lunch ....
It should be taken on an empty stomach to work properly -
please check out all the info on omeprazole:

PS - You should actually check out all your medications on the internet - there are wonderful websites, giving you all the info you need, in language you can understand. The pamphlets accompanying your medication don't always give you the full picture, and it is written in high falluting medical terms which one cannot understand. Checking out the drugs which interacts with your medication also important.
