How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Aluminum Hydroxide 250 mg Capsules are a specialized compounded formulation designed to treat a variety of conditions such as hyperphosphatemia, hypercalcemia, and acidosis. The active ingredient, aluminum hydroxide, is an antacid that functions by neutralizing stomach acid and reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. This compound also has the ability to bind to phosphate and calcium in the intestines, preventing their absorption and consequently reducing their levels in the blood.

When taken as directed, Aluminum Hydroxide 250 mg Capsules can effectively reduce phosphate and calcium levels in the blood, providing relief from hyperphosphatemia, hypercalcemia, and acidosis. It is crucial to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider. The capsules should be consumed with food or a full glass of water to minimize the risk of stomach upset. Additionally, it is recommended to take the capsules at least two hours before or after other medications, as aluminum hydroxide can interfere with the absorption of other drugs.

If you have any queries about Aluminum Hydroxide 250 mg Capsules or how they can assist in treating hyperphosphatemia, hypercalcemia, and acidosis, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
