What’s the difference between Maalox and Maalox Plus?

Antacids work by neutralising stomach acid and can also help soothe irritation. They’re typically used when symptoms occur, following the dose instructions on the pack.
Can I take Maalox with other medicines?
Some antacids can affect absorption of other medicines. If you take regular medication, check the leaflet for spacing advice and ask a pharmacist if you’re unsure about interactions.
Is Maalox suitable in pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Suitability depends on the specific product and your circumstances. Read the label carefully and speak with a pharmacist or GP before use if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding.
When should I speak to a pharmacist or GP about heartburn?
Get advice if symptoms are frequent, persistent, or keep returning. Seek urgent medical help if you have chest pain, trouble swallowing, persistent vomiting, vomiting blood, black stools, unexplained weight loss, or severe/worsening symptoms.
