Description

Maalox Plus Oral Suspension

Maalox Plus Oral Suspension combines two antacids that neutralise stomach acid to relieve heartburn and indigestion (dyspepsia) with simeticone, an anti-foaming agent that helps to remove gas from your stomach to reduce flatulence (wind). It has a fresh, lemony taste.

Take this medicine by mouth, 20 minutes to 1 hour after meals and at bedtime. Take as directed in the packaging, unless directed differently by your doctor.

Cautions

  • Maalox Plus contains sorbitol (E420). If you have been told by your doctor that you cannot tolerate or digest some sugars, talk to your doctor before taking this medicine.
  • In small children use of magnesium hydroxide may cause hypermagnesemia particularly if they have renal impairment or dehydration. 
Do not take Maalox Plus if:
  • You are allergic (hypersensitive) to dried aluminium hydroxide gel, magnesium hydroxide, simeticone or any of the other ingredients in Maalox Plus.
  • You are feeling very weak and have no energy (debilitated).
  • You have kidney disease.
  • You have low levels of phosphate (called 'hypophosphataemia').
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine if:
  • You are on a low-phosphorous diet.
  • You are pregnant, might become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant.
  • You are breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines. This includes medicines you buy without a prescription including herbal medicines. Maalox Plus should not be taken at the same time as other medicines because Maalox Plus can affect the way other medicines work. If Maalox Plus is taken within one hour of any other medicine, it can affect the uptake of that medicine into the blood. Some medicines may be affected by magnesium hydroxide or they may affect how well magnesium hydroxide will work. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are already taking salicylates.
