Antacids

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for your query.
What the literature say about gabapentin is, it is antacid which interferes with the absorption of the drug. So if you are taking antacids (Both Aluminium or magnesium containing) please take the drug at least 2 hours before taking antacids...

Best wishes
