How To Use

Take Maalox Plus as prescribed.
Taking too much of an antacid can reverse the effects and more acid will be secreted.
In certain conditions, however, it may be necessary to take the antacid as frequently as every 1 to 2 hours.
To be effective, chewable tablets must be chewed thoroughly before swallowing followed by a full glass of water.
Shake liquid forms well before pouring each dose.
Do not take any other medication within 1 to 2 hours of taking an antacid.
Since antacids coat the stomach, they can prevent other drugs from being absorbed properly if taken at the same time.

Side Effects

Maalox Plus can cause nausea, loss of appetite, constipation or diarrhea, weakness, or headache.
If these symptoms persist or become severe, notify your doctor.
Notify your doctor if you notice black, tarry stools while taking Maalox Plus.
