Omnicef bottle says don't take magnesium pills within 2 hours before or after dose.

Epsom salt is magnesium. Is soaking in an epsom salt bath the same as taking a magnesium pill, in terms of interfering with Omnicef?

Hmmm...I really don't know Janice, can you ask your LLMD? The answer could go either way it seems!

Take care,
Ocean

I couldn't ask my LLMD until my recent appointment, as he is practically unreachable in between.

I finally got the answer at my appointment--it is okay! Epsom salt baths will not interfere with drugs that say avoid magnesium near a dose.
