Magaldrate is a hydroxymagnesium aluminate complex that is converted rapidly in gastric acid to Mg(OH) 2 and Al(OH) 3 , which are absorbed poorly and thus provide a sustained antacid effect

Constipation and diarrhea may occur.

Magaldrate is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to magnesium and aluminium. It is also contraindicated in patients with impaired renal function
