Is It Still Ok To Take Proton 40 Tab(pantoprazole)?

I was prescribed by a doctor to tale proton 40. However i did not understand first the instruction of the pharmacist, all i was able to understan was to tale it BEFORE FOOD. And so i did it last night before eating, but now that I read the leaflet, it shows that i should be drinking it 1 hour before breakfast, i already have breakfast, is it still ok to take it? Because it says here that if your forgot to take proton 40, do not tale it late but continue it with the next regular dose on your dosing schedule. Does that mean i should just take it tomorrow before eating? Because if i do that, it will turn out that i interrupt the treatment, although i just started taking it up last night (which was a bad move)-..

Hello, J! How are you?

Yes, you can still take it and then return to a normal dosage pattern the following day. The tablets or capsules don't necessarily have to be taken a full hour before your meal, that is usually only required for some other dosage forms. But it's always best to follow your doctor's instructions.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach pain.

Is there anything else I can help with?
