Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

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.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Aluminum Hydroxide 80 mg/ml/Calcium Carbonate 8 mg/ml Oral Suspension is a compounded medication designed to alleviate symptoms associated with conditions such as heartburn, acid reflux, and ulcers. This dual-action medication works by neutralizing stomach acid and reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach, thereby providing relief from discomfort and pain.

The aluminum hydroxide component of this formulation functions by binding to bile acids in the stomach, which in turn reduces the amount of acid produced. On the other hand, calcium carbonate works by neutralizing the acid present in the stomach. Together, these two active ingredients work synergistically to alleviate the symptoms of heartburn, acid reflux, and ulcers.

This medication is available in a liquid suspension form, providing a homogeneous mixture for administration. This form is easy to consume and can be taken with or without food, making it a convenient option for individuals with varying dietary habits and schedules. It is crucial to adhere to the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider to ensure optimal effectiveness and safety.

If you have any queries or concerns about this formulation or its mechanism of action, do not hesitate to contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist. They are equipped with the necessary knowledge and expertise to provide you with accurate and helpful information. Remember, it's important to take an active role in your healthcare and to stay informed about the medications you are taking.

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.
