Heartburn Antacid Extra Strength Disease Interactions
There are 2 disease interactions with Heartburn Antacid Extra Strength (alginic acid / aluminum hydroxide / magnesium carbonate).
Aluminum-containing antacids (applies to Heartburn Antacid Extra Strength) constipation
Major Potential Hazard, High plausibility. Applicable conditions: Renal Dysfunction, Intestinal Obstruction, Phosphate Imbalance
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.
Magnesium salts (applies to Heartburn Antacid Extra Strength) renal dysfunction
Major Potential Hazard, High plausibility.
Magnesium is eliminated by the kidney. The serum concentration of magnesium is increased in patients with renal impairment. Magnesium toxicity includes CNS depression, muscular paralysis, respiratory depression, hypotension and prolonged cardiac conduction time. Disappearance of the patellar reflex is a useful clinical sign of magnesium intoxication. Therapy with magnesium should be administered cautiously and dosages should be modified in patients with compromised renal function. Clinical monitoring of serum magnesium levels is recommended.
