Ahealth care provider prescribes famotidine (pepcid) and magnesium hydroxide/aluminum hydroxide (maalox) for a client with a peptic ulcer. the nurse should teach the client to take the maalox at what time?

The nurse should teach the client to take the Maalox one hour before or two hours after famotidine. Antacids interfere with the thorough absorption of famotidine. Thus, antacids should be overseen at least one hour before or two hours after famotidine. Magnesium hydroxide / aluminum hydroxide usually is taken one hour after meals and at bedtime. The client has acknowledged a prescription for both medications and the client should not be taught to omit one of the medications without examination with the health care provider first.
