You should be OK: There is some small risk of stomach irritation(Gastritis) from both of these chemicals. So take an antacid if you have any indigestion or heart burn. The best antacid is Prilosec which is available over the counter as 20 mg tablets, take 2 tablets once daily for a few days so that your stomach is well protected
