Product Overview

Introduction of Maalox Plus Chewable Tablet 10s (strip)

Maalox Plus Chewable Tablet is a well-known antacid and antiflatulent combination that belongs to the class of gastrointestinal relief medications, formulated with three active ingredients — Aluminium Hydroxide, Magnesium Hydroxide, and Simethicone — working together to address stomach discomfort. If you are someone who deals with occasional stomach upset, this chewable tablet is something worth knowing about before you reach for it. Like most medicines, it may cause some side effects in certain individuals, including constipation, diarrhoea, nausea, and in rare cases, changes in magnesium or aluminium levels in the body with prolonged use. It is important to know that while this product is widely available and generally considered safe for short-term use, it is not suitable for everyone — particularly those with kidney problems or those taking other medications that may interact with it. Always read the label carefully and speak to your pharmacist or doctor if you are unsure whether this product is right for you.

How to Take Maalox Plus Chewable Tablet
Maalox Plus Chewable Tablet should be chewed thoroughly before swallowing — do not swallow it whole like a regular tablet, as chewing helps the active ingredients work more effectively in the stomach. It is generally recommended to take this tablet between 20 to 60 minutes after meals and at bedtime, or as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. Always follow the dosage instructions on the packaging or as advised by a qualified healthcare professional, and avoid taking it alongside other medications at the same time without guidance.

Dosage of Maalox Plus Chewable Tablet
The generally recommended dose for adults is 1 to 2 tablets, taken four times daily — typically after meals and at bedtime — or as directed by a doctor or pharmacist. Do not exceed the maximum recommended daily dose, and this product is generally not recommended for children under 12 years of age unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional.

Shelf Life of Maalox Plus Chewable Tablet
Maalox Plus Chewable Tablet typically has a shelf life of 2 to 3 years from the date of manufacture, as indicated on the packaging. Always check the expiry date printed on the box or blister pack before use, and do not consume the product if it has passed its expiry date, even if it appears unchanged in appearance or smell.

Active Ingredients of Maalox Plus Chewable Tablet

Active Ingredient	Role
Aluminium Hydroxide	Antacid — neutralises excess stomach acid
Magnesium Hydroxide	Antacid — neutralises stomach acid and has a mild laxative effect

These three ingredients work in a complementary manner to address multiple gastrointestinal symptoms simultaneously.

Contraindications of Maalox Plus Chewable Tablet

Severe kidney disease or renal impairment — the magnesium and aluminium content may accumulate to dangerous levels in the body
Known hypersensitivity or allergy to aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, simethicone, or any excipients in the formulation
Hypophosphataemia (low phosphate levels in the blood) — aluminium-containing antacids can further reduce phosphate absorption
Appendicitis or symptoms of acute abdomen — antacids should not be used as a substitute for proper medical evaluation
Children under 12 years of age — unless specifically directed by a paediatrician
Patients on a magnesium-restricted diet due to medical conditions

Drug & Food Interactions of Maalox Plus Chewable Tablet

Drug Interactions:

Tetracycline antibiotics (e.g., doxycycline, tetracycline) — antacids can significantly reduce the absorption of these antibiotics; separate administration by at least 2 hours
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics (e.g., ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin) — absorption may be reduced; administer at least 2 hours apart
Iron supplements — aluminium and magnesium may bind to iron and reduce its absorption
Thyroid medications (e.g., levothyroxine) — antacids may interfere with absorption; take thyroid medication at least 4 hours before or after antacid use
Bisphosphonates (e.g., alendronate) — antacids may impair absorption; take separately as directed
Ketoconazole and other azole antifungals — antacids alter gastric pH and may reduce the effectiveness of these medications
Digoxin — antacids may reduce digoxin absorption; monitor closely
Enteric-coated medications — antacids may cause premature dissolution of enteric coatings due to pH changes in the stomach

Food Interactions:

Dairy products and calcium-rich foods — consuming large amounts alongside antacids may contribute to milk-alkali syndrome with excessive use
High-phosphate foods — aluminium hydroxide may bind dietary phosphate, potentially reducing phosphate absorption over time with frequent use

💡 As a general rule, take Maalox Plus at least 1 to 2 hours before or after other medications unless your doctor advises otherwise. Always disclose all supplements and medicines you are taking to your pharmacist.
