Maalox Mix-Ups

Labels on Maalox bottles may look alike but they definitely contain different ingredients. Choosing the wrong liquid Maalox product for your condition can have harmful consequences, warns the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These side effects include bleeding in some people.

Maalox (Advanced Regular Strength and Advanced Maximum Strength) and Maalox Total Relief (Maximum Strength) treat different symptoms and are not interchangeable.

Be sure you know what you're taking. Ask your Pharmacist to help you select the Maalox that is right for you.

Take Care,
Dr. Mary Sue
