The recommended dose for adults and patients over 12 years of age is 2 tablets, half an hour to an hour before meals.
Up to a maximum of 10 tablets per day.
If you are allergic to almagate or to any of the other ingredients of this medicinal product.
If you suffer from Alzheimer's disease.
If you have undiagnosed bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract, haemorrhoids, fluid retention (oedema), liver complication during pregnancy (toxaemia gravidarum) or diarrhoea.
As this is a drug with low intestinal absorption, side effects are rare. In some cases diarrhoea may occur, which disappears after discontinuation of treatment, although with no estimated frequency.
If you have mild to moderate kidney disease, as aluminium and magnesium ions may accumulate in the body in the long term. In this case the lower dose may be recommended. Almax is not recommended in severe kidney failure.
If you are on a low-phosphorus diet, have diarrhoea, malabsorption or are very weak, as aluminium salts decrease the absorption of phosphorus, which can lead, especially with prolonged treatment, to a decrease in the phosphate content in the blood (loss of appetite, muscle weakness, general malaise, etc.) and insufficient mineralisation of the phosphate in the blood (loss of appetite, muscle weakness, general malaise, etc.).) and insufficient bone mineralisation (osteomalacia).
If you are an elderly patient, as the continued use of aluminium-containing antacids may aggravate an existing bone disease (osteoporosis and osteomalacia), due to the reduction of phosphorus and calcium.
The active substance is Almagate. Each tablet contains 750 mg of Almagate.
The other ingredients are: mannitol, povidone, potato starch, calcium saccharin, ammonium glycyrrhizate, magnesium stearate and peppermint flavouring.
We do not advise patients with kidney disease such as severe renal insufficiency to take this medicine.
On the other hand, in elderly patients, it is not necessary to change the dose. Do not exceed 8 g per day, i.e. 10 tablets.
The price of non-prescription medicines is set by law. However, at Farmaciasdirect you can buy Almax 750 Mg Mint Flavour , 24 chewable tablets with a discount of up to 10%, which is the maximum legal allowed.
