A member asked:

How long between dose of tums and baby aspirin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rethink combination: Chronic administration of antacids may reduce serum salicylate concentrations in patients receiving large doses of aspirin or other salicylates. The mechanism involves reduction in salicylate renal tubular reabsorption due to urinary alkalinization by antacids, resulting in increased renal salicylate clearance. Ref: www.drugs.com
