Kaye; a question about Viokase

[Guest guest]

HI Kaye, I already sent you an email but I was wondering if Viokase is

one of those enzymes that need an antacid to be taken with them. Maybe

somebody from the group will know. I am so glad that things went well

with Dr. Cotton. He is really something.

Warmly,

Viokase aren't enteric coated, therefore my doctor says that I need to take

Prevacid with them.

Kaye,

in case no one else has answered, Like said, yes Viokase 8

does need to have an acid reducer like Tagamet, Zantac, etc. I know

because I take the Viokase 8 tablets. I hope they work out well for you.
