Remarks

Aluminium Oxide + Magnesium Hydroxide + Simethicone

Aluminium oxide + Magnesium Hydroxide+ Simethicone is a combination medication. It is indicated for the treatment of hyper acidity an related conditions. This medication reacts with and neutralizes excess gastric acid produced in the GIT and also eliminates excess gas present in the intestine.

Aluminium oxide + Magnesium Hydroxide+ Simethicone is indicated for the following conditions-

  • Gastric acidity
  • Dyspepsia
  • Flatulence
  • Gastric ulcer
  • Aluminium oxide + Magnesium Hydroxide+ Simethicone is available as suspension. 
  • As needed, take 2-4 teaspoons after meals and at night (up to 4 times a day).

Side effects of Aluminium Hydroxide + Magnesium Hydroxide + simethicone include-

  • diarrhea
  • abdominal pain
  • constipation
  • nausea
  • taste disturbance (metallic taste, chalky taste)
  • milk-alkali syndrome
  • Large doses of this product may trigger or aggravate intestinal obstruction and ileus in patients at higher risk, such as those with renal impairment or the elderly. Aluminium oxide may cause constipation, and magnesium salts overdose may cause hypomotility of the bowel; large doses of this product may trigger or aggravate intestinal obstruction and ileus in patients at higher risk, such as those with renal impairment or the elderly.
  • Because aluminum oxide is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, systemic effects in persons with normal renal function are uncommon. Excessive doses, long-term use, or even typical doses in individuals on low-phosphorus diets can cause phosphate depletion (due to aluminium-phosphate binding), accelerated bone resorption, hypercalciuria, and osteomalacia. Long-term use or people who are at danger of phosphate deficiency should seek medical guidance.
  • Aluminium and magnesium levels in the blood rise in people with renal impairment. Long-term exposure to large dosages of aluminum and magnesium salts may cause dementia and microcytic anemia in these patients. Patients with porphyria who are receiving hemodialysis may be at risk from aluminum hydroxide.
  • Caution should be exercised in patients with hypophosphatemia.
