Aluminum is a naturally occurring mineral. Aluminum hydroxide is an antacid.
Aluminum hydroxide is used to treat heartburn, upset stomach, sour stomach, or acid indigestion. Aluminum hydroxide is also used to reduce phosphate levels in people with certain kidney conditions.
Aluminum hydroxide may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist before taking aluminum hydroxide if you have kidney problems, severe constipation, if you are dehydrated, or if you drink alcohol frequently.
Heartburn can mimic early symptoms of a heart attack. Get emergency medical help if you have chest pain that spreads to your jaw or shoulder and you feel anxious or light-headed.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist if it is safe for you to take this medicine if you have:
kidney disease, a history of kidney stones;
severe constipation;
if you are dehydrated; or
if you drink alcohol frequently.
Ask a doctor before using this medicine if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
Antacids can make it harder for your body to absorb other medicines you take by mouth. Avoid taking other medications within 2 hours before or 2 hours after you take aluminum hydroxide.
Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop using the medicine and call your doctor at once if you have:
severe stomach pain or constipation, loss of appetite;
pain when you urinate;
muscle weakness, tiredness;
extreme drowsiness; or
bloody or tarry stools, coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds.
Less serious side effects may be more likely, and you may have none at all.
