You need to discuss this with your doctor. The literature does not say that you cannot but the literature on Levbid says you should take caution if you have reflux and are taking Levbid. So, if you are having issues with reflux, you need to discuss this symptom with your doctor and allow her to look over all of your medications and determine if there is a better solution for you or if you need to be monitored more closely.
Also, always make sure you tell your pharmacist about all medications you are taking including over the counter and try to use the same pharmacy. This will help them keep track and make sure you don't mix medications that would be unsafe.
