Dihydroxyaluminum sodium carbonate Disease Interactions

Aluminum containing antacids may produce constipation, which may lead to intestinal obstruction. Osteomalacia and hypophosphatemia may be produced in patients with renal dysfunction who are not receiving dialysis. Patients with renal dysfunction, intestinal obstruction, osteomalacia, or hypophosphatemia should use antacids with low or no aluminum content.

The sodium content of antacids may be significant. Patients with hypertension, congestive heart failure, or those on restricted sodium diets should use an antacid with a low sodium content.
