Porque se administran juntos el hidroxido de aluminio y el hidroxido de magnesio (Melox)
What is Because unabsorbed magnesium
salts may cause an osmotic diarrhea and aluminum salts may
cause constipation, these agents are commonly administered together
in proprietary formulations (eg, Gelusil, Maalox, Mylanta) to minimize
the impact on bowel function. Both magnesium and aluminum
are absorbed and excreted by the kidneys. Hence, patients with renal
insufficiency should not take these agents long-term.
