Have Nasal Infection For A Long Time For Which Have Been Taking Strong Antibiotics. Had Hep C Earlier. What To Do For This Problem?

I need to be taking some strong antibiotics for a nasal infection( had 11 months) and I take a lot of antacids as I used to be on liver transplant list. Had hep C Cured With Pegasus no longer need transplant. Just worried as the antibiotics say do not take with aluminum based antacids. I am trying to find out the best schedule to take these antibiotics as I need to take 4 of each per day
I take ranitidine, spirolactolone, raberprazole and apo nadol, are my main meds in regards to liver care at this time.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.

You can Prepare a schedule for your routine medication and make sure that you take antibiotics minimum 30 min before antacids, so that absorption of antibiotic is not affected by antacids. Go through leaflet given in antibiotic strips, weather to be taken with food or not.

Hope this helps you.
