aluminum based antacids side effects
constipation
hypophosphatemia

short term management of GERD symptoms - swallow after meals, avoid drinking/eating after
sucralfate side effects
constipation
aluminum toxicity
sucralfate caution with
renal failure (aluminum toxicity)
diabetes - can cause hyperglycemia
H2 receptor antagonists
cimetidine
famotidine
H2 receptor antagnoists MOA
block stimulation of gastric parietal cells by competing with histamine at H2 receptors
