In the morning, I have to take Levothyroxine as soon as I get up per Endocrinologist.Then 30 minutes later, I have been taking Nexium/Sucralfate. The GE dr. did not specify timing and it's difficult to get an answer.Then later, I eat breakfast and take Etodolac. This takes a lot of morning time. (I had tried 30 min. intervals of taking Levothyroxine, Nexium,Sucralfate. That required that I had to get up 1 1/2 hrs.+ before eating breakfast.) At night, I have to take Prilosec and Sucralfate before eating a small snack before bedtime. This has worked fairly well, but
I wanted to see if there is a better idea. Thanks!
Can Sucralfate/Prilosec and Sucralfate/Nexium be taken at the same time?

I don't understand why you're taking Nexium and Prilosec. They're exactly the same thing. The generic drug is Omeprazole and Nexium and Prilosec are brand names of the same generic drug. I guess if your doctor wants you to take 2 doses of Omeprazole daily, then it's all right.

Nexium and Prilosec. Nope, nope, nope. When was this prescribed and was it the same doc? Makes no sense. One or the other says my doc.
Levothyroxine first thing with a full glass of water. My docs say half an hour later take my handful of drugs and supplements with food. I take ranitidine twice a day. It does not matter if food is present or not. I, too, take a ten pm dose with a snack so the meds are stretched out. They want twice a day doses about twelve hours apart. If your dinner is that long after the breakfast take meds then. Except sleep meds, of course.
This is my experience with GI and Endo. Talk to the doctors nurse to get a message to the doc. That might help. Also call the pharmacy and see what they recommend. Very helpful and very accurate. Karen
