Why is it not a good idea to take tagamet with maalox?
Taking Tagamet (cimetidine) with Maalox (an antacid) is not recommended because Maalox can interfere with the absorption of Tagamet, potentially reducing its effectiveness. Antacids can alter the stomach's pH, affecting how well Tagamet is absorbed into the bloodstream. This interaction may lead to decreased therapeutic effects of Tagamet, which is used to treat conditions like ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It's best to space out the timing of these medications to avoid such interactions.

How far apart should you take tagamet from maalox?
You could take them together, if you have really bad indigestion. They work differently. Tagamet is designed to reduce the production of stomach acid. Maalox is designed to neutralize the acid already there. If you also have an ulcer, you need to be treated for that separately, in addition to taking tagamet. See your doctor, and don't take medical advice from WikiAnswers.
