Interactions between your drugs
naproxen lansoprazole
Applies to: Prevacid NapraPAC (lansoprazole / naproxen) and Prevacid NapraPAC (lansoprazole / naproxen)
Talk to your doctor before using naproxen together with lansoprazole. Using these medications together may affect the enteric coating of naproxen, causing the medication to be released too early in the body. This can make naproxen less effective. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
cefpodoxime lansoprazole
Applies to: Vantin (cefpodoxime) and Prevacid NapraPAC (lansoprazole / naproxen)
Using cefpodoxime together with lansoprazole is not recommended. By reducing stomach acid, lansoprazole can decrease the absorption and blood levels of cefpodoxime and make the medication less effective against infections. You may need to stop taking lansoprazole while you are being treated with cefpodoxime, or your doctor may want to prescribe a different antibiotic. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Drug and food interactions
cefpodoxime food
Applies to: Vantin (cefpodoxime)
Food can enhance the levels of cefpodoxime tablets in your body. Take the cefpodoxime tablets with food to increase absorption by the body. The cefpodoxime suspension can be taken with or without food. You should take cefpodoxime at the same time each day.
naproxen food
Applies to: Prevacid NapraPAC (lansoprazole / naproxen)
Ask your doctor before using naproxen together with ethanol. Do not drink alcohol while taking naproxen. Alcohol can increase your risk of stomach bleeding caused by naproxen. Call your doctor at once if you have symptoms of bleeding in your stomach or intestines. This includes black, bloody, or tarry stools, or coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
