My doctor prescribed me 40mg of Famotidine "at bedtime" (for acid reflux and gastritis). I usually have a small bedtime snack 30-60 minutes before bed. Is it ok to take famotidine so soon after eating?
How long after eating should I wait to take famotidine?

Generally it's best to actually take famotidine before eating -- it's best about 10 to 30 minutes before you eat. I'd put it before your bedtime snack.
