FOOD AND PROTON PUMP INHIBITORS
Food reduces the bioavailability of lansoprazole and esomeprazole by up to 50%.
It is recommended that lansoprazole should not be given with food. Giving lansoprazole one hour before food is probably enough to avoid the interaction. Esomeprazole capsules and suspension should be taken one hour before meals, but food does not appear to alter the effects of esomeprazole tablets on gastric acidity.
