A member asked:
My husband needs a anacid without calcium, he has kidney cancer also high blood calcium. what can he take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A full workup: There are magnesium and aluminum antacids so ch as Maalox and Mylanta. There are of course also proton pum inhibitors and H2 blockers. If the cause of high calcium is unknown, keep looking. A few percent of kidney cancers produce a parathyroid hormone like substance, and a parathyroid adenoma may be present. There are other causes of course. I am glad your husband has you to help.
