ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+OXETHAZAINE belongs to a group of medicines called antacids used to treat acidity, heartburn, indigestion, gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), and stomach upset. The stomach is usually protected from the acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity and heartburn.
ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+OXETHAZAINE is a combination of three drugs: Aluminium hydroxide, Magnesium hydroxide and Oxethazaine. Aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide belong to a group of antacids, whereas oxethazaine is a local anaesthetic. Aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide works by neutralising excess stomach acid. Oxethazaine exerts a numbing effect, thereby provides relief from pain due to ulcers or acidic injury in the stomach.
You are advised to take ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+OXETHAZAINE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. You may experience certain common side-effects such as constipation, diarrhoea, dizziness and drowsiness in some cases. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+OXETHAZAINE should not be given to children as safety has not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+OXETHAZAINE as it could lead to increased acidity. ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+OXETHAZAINE may cause dizziness and drowsiness, do not drive or operate machinery unless you are alert. Inform your doctor regarding other prescription, non-prescription and herbal medicines you are taking to prevent any side-effects/interactions.

ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+OXETHAZAINE belongs to a group of medicines called antacids used to treat acidity, heartburn, indigestion, gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), and stomach upset. ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+OXETHAZAINE is a combination of three drugs: Aluminium hydroxide (antacid), magnesium hydroxide (antacid) and oxethazaine (local anaesthetic). Aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide work by neutralising excess stomach acid. Oxethazaine exerts a numbing effect, thereby providing relief from pain due to ulcers or acidic injury in the stomach.
Do not take ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+OXETHAZAINE if you are allergic to any of its contents, debilitated (very weak), if you have severe stomach pain, partially or fully blocked bowel. Inform your doctor if you have low phosphate levels, high magnesium levels, kidney or liver problems, a low-phosphate diet or if you are taking antibiotics such as doxycycline, oxytetracycline, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin. Avoid taking foods and drinks containing citrates along with ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+OXETHAZAINE as it might lead to increased serum levels of aluminium which can be harmful. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+OXETHAZAINE should not be given to children as safety has not been established.
Drug-Drug Interactions: ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+OXETHAZAINE may interact with pain killers (aspirin), antibiotics (doxycycline, oxytetracycline, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin), anti-asthma (albuterol, ipratropium), anti-diabetic (glipizide) and vitamins (ascorbic acid, ergocalciferol, cholecalciferol).
Drug-Food Interactions: No interactions found/established.
Drug-Disease Interactions: Inform your doctor if you have constipation, inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal obstruction disorder or renal dysfunction.
Avoid consumption of alcohol while taking ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+OXETHAZAINE. Alcohol intake leads to increased production of stomach acid, thereby increasing acidity and heartburn.

The stomach is usually protected from the acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity. Due to this, acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn. Symptoms include heartburn, a sour or bitter taste in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing. Indigestion is the feeling of fullness. It occurs due to slow gastric emptying. Symptoms include stomach pain, bloating, heartburn, nausea and vomiting.
