Why aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide used in combination in antacid preparation?
Because aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide are basic compounds.
That is a good question! Both are antacids and used in combination. Aluminium hydroxide causes constipation. Magnesium hydroxide causes diarrhea. Together they does not affect the bowl movement. This fallows that if you have loose motion, you should take only aluminium hydroxide preparation, as an antacid. If you have constipation, you should take only magnesium hydroxide preparation as an antacid. I have trying to find one (or say two) such preparation.
