Antacids reduce the absorption of a number of drugs e.g. ciprofloxacin, some tetracyclines. The administration times should be separated by 1 to 2 hours to minimise the effect. Similarly, the administration times of an antacid and enteric coated tablets should be separated so that that the pH-sensitive coating is not destroyed in the stomach.

This medicine is not to be used for long periods of time, as it may cause more adverse effects.

This medicine contains sodium, and may not suitable for those individuals on a sodium restricted diet.

Antacids may reduce the absorption of the following medications:
-ACE inhibitors (captopril and fosinopril)
-Analgesics such a high doses of aspirin
-Antibacerials such as the quinolones (eg. ciprofloxacin), the tetracyclines (eg. doxycycline), isoniazid, rifampicin, azithromycin, and nitrofurantoin
-Antiepileptics such as phenytoin
-Antimalarials such as chloroquine and proguanil
-Antifungals such as ketoconazole and itraconazole
-Antipsychotics such as the phenothiazines (eg. chlorpromazine)
-Biphosphonates such as alendronate
-Penicillamine

To reduce this effect there should be a two hour gap between taking the antacid and other medications.
