Hi @Welsh1
I'm not a member of the helpline team, just an ordinary forum membeŕ but I've been taking meth and hydroxy together for years. And given them together when in hospital.
I also take a PPI but I thoughr they had to be taken on an empty stomach so I have mine at my bedside with water. I take them first thing and, I'm so slow, by the time I'm showered, dressed and have prepared my breakfast, I reckon it's OK to take them with my breakfast.
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Hi@Welsh1
Thanks for your question to the Helpline & sorry for the delay in replying. We are not medically qualified here on the Helpline and cannot answer questions to do with dosage or timing of medication. These questions are best put to your Rheumatology Nurse Specialist. You should be able to leave them a voicemail and one of them should call you back. If you are having problems getting through to them, you can try leaving your question with the medical secretary for your Rheumatologist - and they will make sure you have a reply. If you still are struggling to reach them, do ring us on 0800 5200520.
For more informal input, try posting on the Living with arthritis forum.
All the best
