Thanks doctor i forgot to ask 1 last question
I was told to take Neksium empty stomach. I was told to take is 15 min after eltroxin. But as esomeprazole interfere with eltroxin absorption. So i was taking Neksium at around 8am and vitamin shake at around 8:40 to 9:00am. Am i right, or need to change
