Pregnancy and lactation
There are no adequate human data from the use of aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide in pregnant women. Studies in animals have not been done. Caution should therefore be exercised when taken by pregnant women.
Although some aluminium and magnesium may be secreted in breast mild, the concentration is too small to be harmful.
Undesirable effects
May occasionally cause diarrhoea or constipation, although the combination of magnesium and aluminium salts minimises these gastrointestinal effects.
Overdose
Symptoms of overdosage include nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal irritation, diarrhoea/constipation. Treatment should be symptomatic and supportive.
STORAGE
Store in cool and dark place.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
