Statins come in tablet or capsule form. They are taken once or twice a day, depending on the particular product. Short-acting statins must be taken in the evening (near bedtime), while long-acting statins can be taken at any time of the day. Either way, make sure to take your dose at the same time each day. Some statins can be taken with or without food; others must be taken with food.
It is my understanding that Zantac and other drugs in that class and the PPI's block the production of stomach acid which some medications may need to be absorbed. That is why I now take it away from all my meds and only at night. I also was taking calcium carbonate all that time which was probably not being absorbed because of the Zantac. I switched to the calcium citrate which is not supposed to need the stomach acid to be absorbed. After going to two md's who told me to take Actonel or Reclast, I went to a naturopath who recommended Boneup by Jarrow which does have the calcium citrate and MK7 Vit K2.
