Combining Alugastrin and Maalox, two antacids, is usually unnecessary. Both preparations work similarly, neutralizing stomach acid, so using them simultaneously can lead to an excess of active ingredients (mainly aluminum and magnesium salts), which increases the risk of side effects such as diarrhea (due to magnesium) or constipation (due to aluminum).
In case you need to increase the dosage or use antacids more often, it is better to consult your doctor to avoid unnecessary side effects.
If you have any further doubts, it is worth consulting your attending physician. If you are unable to consult your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:
