Have to dose often

42
Q

A

Increase the output of acid when neutralized

43
Q

What disease increases the liklihood of having hypermagnesemia, hypercalcemia etc when taking simple antacids?

Renal insufficiency

44
Q

True or false: simple antacids are usually used in combination with other therapies

A

True

45

A

True

46
Q

What is the GERD heal rate of simple antacids?

A

Competitive

52
