I am trying to plan everything and write it down so I can reread it every day and make peace with the process. I have a concern/problem with the regimen and I would greately appreciate your advice. I am unsure of the period of time it needs to pass to take SN after taking the final meto dose.I read different suggestions: 30 min, 45min or ~1 hour. I see most people leave 45 minutes according to Stans guide and also PPH recommends 40 minutes Meto before SN. The problem is that the H2 blocker I have is called FAMOTIDINE and the onset time of this is 1 hour unlike Tagamet that has a lesser onset time. So I would like some advice regarding the regimen taking the onset of the H2 blocker into consideration. This is the draft I made on the possible regimen:
Option 1:
17:00 1 gr Paracetamol w a sip of water
17:15pm 3 X 10mg Metoclopramide (30mg in total) w a sip of water
17:30pm H2 blocker 40 mgs Famotidine 1 tab of 40 mgs w a sip of water.
18:20 pm Start preparing 3 SN drinks. Take first 23 gr SN DRINK in 50 ml water at 18:25- this means taking SN 1hour and 10 minutes after meto
So that would be 1 hour and 10 minutes after meto to take SN and aprox 50 minutes before SN for the antacid to work. Is it better to have less then 1h and 10 minutes between meto and SN? Like 30 or 45 minutes instead? That would mean I need to take the H2 blocker first and then Meto but I am unsure if taking the H2 blocker before Meto interferes with the process? If taken before, the regimen would be something like this:
Option 2:
17:00 1 gr Paracetamol w a sip of water
17:15pm H2 blocker 40 mgs Famotidine 1 tab of 40 mgs w a sip of water.
18:10 pm 3 X 10mg Metoclopramide (30mg in total) w a sip of water
18:40 pm Start preparing 3 SN drinks. Take first 23 gr SN DRINK in 50 ml water- that would mean taking SN 30 minutes after meto
OR
18:55 Start preparing 3 SN drinks. Take first 23 gr SN DRINK in 50 ml water- this means taking SN 45 minutes after meto but I have 1 hour and 40 minutes of H2 blocker
I welcome suggestions and info on how to do it- what is the amount of time needed after METO for peak absorption of SN? Does taking H2 blocker first interfere with the process?
