A member asked:
I take 200-400 magnesuim citrate daily. is it still ok to take maalox for heartburn as well with 400mg of magnesium hydroxide per teaspoon?

Magnesium: Yes. Worse case scenario would be that she would have loose stool. Perfectly safe, though.

Take both separately: Why don't you try to take Magnesium Citrate and Maalox at least two hours apart? That would prevent any interactions brtween those medicines, if any.
