Question: is it safe to take ciprofloxacin and omeprazole together?
Answer: Although the bioavailability of conventional, immediate-release ciprofloxacin is not affected by coadministration with omeprazole,6 the absorption and systemic availability of ciprofloxacin from another ER formulation (Cipro XR, Bayer) are reduced when the drug is coadministered with omeprazole.
