Warnings and precaution

Aluminum hydroxide 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.

Aluminum hydroxide is not well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and systemic effects are therefore rare in patients with normal renal function. However, excessive doses or long-term use, or even normal doses in patients with low-phosphorus diets, may lead to phosphate depletion (due to aluminum-phosphate binding) accompanied by increased bone resorption and hypercalciuria with the risk of osteomalacia. Medical advice is recommended in case of long-term use or patients at risk of osteomalacia.

In patients with renal impairment, plasma levels of both aluminum and magnesium increase. In these patients, long-term exposure to high doses of aluminum and magnesium salts may lead to dementia, microcytic, and anemia.

Aluminium hydroxide may be unsafe in patients with porphyria undergoing Hemodialysis.
