As I have been taking ppi first thing in morning and having breakfast after around 2-3 hours.Is it ok?

in short that is when I take lansoprazole.

2 to 3 hours is too long the PPI s are meant to be taken approx one hour before eating for maximum effect. this is usually indicated on the box.

The prescription is 30 minutes to one hour before meal.

My gastroenterologist recommended 30 minutes before a high protein breakfast and that has worked wonderfully for me.

Hi @joseph98786,thanks for the reply. I take it in the morning because sometimes I forget to take it 30 min before meal.I just wanted to know that does the medicine works fine if meal taken 2-3 hours after?

I only cough for about an hour on and off when I get up and only when I eat. They think it is a side effect of the Ramipril (blood pressure) tablets or the cholesterol tablets I’m on? Doc gave me Omeprazole, didn’t work well so now I’m trying my wife’s Lansoprazole for a week to see if they work, it’s doing my head in now, grrrrrrrr. I can’t eat out in restaurants without coughing my guts up! embarrassing, mind you with Covid here, no restaurants for a while!
