Definitely with food, with breakfast. Additionally drink kefir when taking the prednisone. Pills go down very easily with kefir.
Gastroenterologist felt that I was fine taking pantoprazole before lunch and famotidine at bedtime. Seems to help a lot.

@caroljeand once you turn off your acid pumps in your stomach it is Important to get your vitamin D checked. I have been taking pantoprazole for 25 years and am now up to taking 4,000 units a day of vitamin D just to stay in the normal range. Prednisone destroys your bones, vitamin D, Magnesium and Calcium build bones please talk to your doctor.
