Overdosage
Signs and Symptoms of Overdosage: Aluminum Hydroxide may accumulate in bones, lungs and nerve tissues in patients with kidney failure. Large doses or chronic use of Aluminum may also cause phosphorus depletion which is characterized by anorexia, malaise, and muscle weakness. Prolonged use may cause kidney stones, osteomalacia (softening of the bones) and osteoporosis.
Hypotension, nausea, vomiting, ECG change, respiratory or mental depression, and coma have also been reported with large doses of Magnesium in patients with severe kidney disease.
Simeticone overdosage is not expected to cause any clinically important effects.
If the patient has taken more than the recommended dosage, consult a doctor.

Adverse Reactions
The combination of Aluminum Hydroxide and Magnesium Hydroxide balances the side effects of diarrhea from Magnesium Hydroxide and constipation from Aluminum Hydroxide.
Excessive doses of Aluminum Hydroxide and Magnesium Hydroxide may result in high Aluminum and Magnesium levels in the blood in patients with kidney impairment.

Drug Interactions
Antacids decrease the absorption of Tetracycline and Iron. Take Tetracycline 1 hour before or 2 hours after antacids and 2 hours before or 3 hours after Iron-containing preparations.
Antacids may decrease the absorption of orally administered Digoxin, or Indomethacin, Isoniazid, Quinolones (e.g., Ciprofloxacin, Ofloxacin), Ketoconazole. Doses of these drugs should be spaced as far apart as possible from doses of antacids.
Antacid-induced changes in urine pH increase urinary excretion and decrease blood concentration of salicylates such as Aspirin.
Antacid-induced increases in urine pH may decrease excretion of weakly basic drugs (e.g., Quinidine, Chlorpromazine, Propranolol, Diazepam) and increase excretion of weakly acidic drugs (e.g., Phenytoin, Pentobarbital, Warfarin).
Aluminum-Magnesium antacid combination is reported to increase the absorption of Dicumarol, Diazepam and Pseudoephedrine.
Magnesium and Aluminum Hydroxide administration may decrease the rate of Chlordiazepoxide absorption.
Antacids reduce the bioavailability of bisphosphonates (e.g., Alendronate, Etidronate, Risedronate).

Storage
Store at temperatures not exceeding 30°C.
Action
This product contains a combination of antacids, Aluminum Hydroxide and Magnesium Hydroxide, which effectively increase gastric pH by neutralizing the acid produced in the stomach.
This product also contains Simeticone, a water-repellant with low surface tension used to relieve bloating and gassiness by causing small bubbles to coalesce to large bubbles, which are passed more easily.
