This compounded formulation contains Aluminum Hydroxide 80 mg/ml and Calcium Carbonate 8 mg/ml in a liquid suspension. The ingredients are uniformly dispersed throughout the liquid medium, ensuring a homogeneous mixture for administration. This formulation is primarily used for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia in patients with end-stage renal disease and hyperacidity associated with peptic ulcer disease. It also aids in reducing the absorption of dietary phosphate in patients with renal failure.
While no clinically significant interactions have been reported between aluminum hydroxide and calcium carbonate, it's crucial to be aware of potential interactions with other medications. Aluminum hydroxide may decrease the absorption of certain medications such as tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, and certain antacids. As a result, it is advised that these medications be taken at least two hours before or after taking aluminum hydroxide.
Furthermore, aluminum hydroxide may increase the risk of hypercalcemia when taken with calcium supplements or other medications that contain calcium. Therefore, it is important to closely monitor calcium levels when taking this combination. If you have any questions about this formulation or its interactions, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.

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.
