Mechanism of Actions
 Alumunium hydroxide acts on the HCl in the stomach by neutralization, forming aluminium chloride salt and water.
Absorption: Alumunium hydroxide reacts with hydrochloric acid in the stomach to form soluble aluminium chloride, which is absorbed from the GI tract.
Excretion: Absorbed aluminium is excreted via the urine. Insoluble aluminium salts formed in the intestines, eg, hydroxides, carbonates, phosphates and fatty acid derivatives, are excreted in the faeces.
Administration
 May be taken with or without food.
