Can I give my dog Pepcid and Omeprazole same day? What if he chews the capsule?

Hello. There are no reported problems administering these 2 medications together, although there is a warning about administering Sildenafil with a similar medication cimetidine ( Pepcid is famotidine ). So just to be sure, I would separate these 2 medications by at least 30 minutes, ideally would be 1-2 hours. Since famotidine can alter the ph of the gastric mucosa & thus potentially affect the absorption of other medications, I would give the sildenafil first.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It is OK to break up the 20mg tablet and give Jack the 5mg. Omeprazole is a very safe drug - it's like Prilosec in people - so this is safe :) I hope this is helpful!

Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Great question! No, I would not be worried about this scenario. Typically we don't like to give two different NSAIDs very close together but that is mostly when a dog has been on one long-term and we want to switch to another. Has only having one dose of previcox a few days is not really concerning. The main reason we worry is the potential for gastric ulceration. If you want to be cautious you could give him some omeprazole for a week but it would be best to contact your vet before adding in any other medications. Hope this helps. Best wishes!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This should be ok. The other thing that I would suggest that works great is putting them in pill pockets which you can buy from your local pet store or online. They are very palatable so they tend to like them. You could also consider using tuna or any food he really likes. Good luck and have a great day!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! While that could help, it is still unlikely to result in resolution of his vomiting and it is crucial to find out what is causing his severe vomiting. I hope he starts feeling better soon! Good luck and have a great day!

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Yes, these medications are safe to give together. I recommend offering a small meal or treat beforehand so that there is a little food in her stomach before getting these medications. She can also get a small tasty treat afterward so she knows she a good girl! I hope this is helpful - she is VERY cute!

These medications can certainly be given on the same day. No concerns for drug interactions here whatsoever. Please also continue to monitor for any signs of GI upset however from the medications themselves, which includes vomiting, diarrhea or decreased appetite and notify your vet immediately if seen. Only a small percentage of pets will have an adverse reaction to these medications. Both medications should be gien after a small meal. Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and best of luck with Sofia moving forward! Take care.
