Hello
There is no need to take these medicines with antacids every time.
You may simply take them with water after meals.
Medicines like ZINTEC work best when taken empty stomach or one hour before meals
Thanks

Dear Sir
The medication you mentioned (ANTACIDS LIKE NEXIUM , ZANTAC OR NORMAXIM) is better to be taken before food and pexep cr 12.5 mg , zapiz .025mg and amitop 10 mg tablets after food. Antacids may reduce absorption and NEXIUM , ZANTAC OR NORMAXIM may interact at metabolism level but they are usually doesn't require any dose adjustment. If you want to take at a stretch then better you keep interval.
Hope I answered your query.
