Prolonged use of aluminum containing antacid may result in elevated tissue aluminum levels. Aluminum is not well removed by dialysis because it is bound to albumin and transferrin, which do not cross dialysis membranes. As a result, aluminum is deposited in bone and dialysis osteomalacia may develop, and it contributes to development of the dialysis encephalopathy and osteomalacia syndrome.
Use with caution in kidney patients.

Mechanism of Action
Dimethicone works by forming an oily layer on the top of the skin that traps water and moistures the skin. Activated Dimethicone relieves flatulence by preventing formation of mucus surrounding gas pockets in the gastro-intestinal tract. It lowers the surface tension of the gas bubbles and bringing together all the small bubbles of gas to form large bubble, which then expelled out.
As activated Dimethicone is released into the saliva, it starts giving relief from gastrointestinal disturbance in GI. It does not prevents the formation of gas in the digestive tract rather, it increase the rate of elimination of gas.
Magnesium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide neutralize gastric acid resulting in an increase in the pH of the stomach.
