Antacids can interfere with the absorption of what?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many drugs...: Antacids - aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide - may potentially interfere with the absorption of numerous medications, too many to list. This interference can be minimized by taking other medications 2 hours before or after antacid administration.
