Drug Interactions
Magaldrate can affect how some drugs work, such as tetracyclines, benzodiazepines, and indomethacin. Taking high doses or using it for a long time may cause you to have more frequent bowel movements and softer stools. In some people, it can also change how the digestive system works, sometimes leading to constipation or diarrhea.
Contraindications
This medicine should not be used by people who are allergic to magnesium or aluminum. It is also not safe for patients who have problems with their kidneys.
Mode of actions
Magaldrate is a compound made from magnesium, aluminum, and hydroxide. When it reaches the stomach, it quickly changes into magnesium and aluminum hydroxide. These are not absorbed well by the body and work for a long time to reduce stomach acid. Magaldrate helps balance how fast food moves through the intestines, increases the tension in the lower esophageal sphincter (the muscle between the esophagus and stomach), and slows down the emptying of the stomach.
Simethicone helps gas bubbles in the stomach and intestines come together, making it easier for the body to get rid of the gas.
Dosage & Administration
Adult: 100-250 mg 3-4 times daily as required. May be given with an antacid.
Oral
Infant colic
Child: Infant: 20-40 mg to be given with feeds.
