            Use caution and ask a healthcare practitioner if history of stomach aches, including heartburn, experiencing high blood pressure, liver cirrhosis, heart disease, or kidney disease, currently taking a diuretic, history of or currently experiencing asthma, on a sodium restriction diet

            Discontinue use and ask a healthcare practitioner if allergic reaction occurs, experiencing symptoms of stomach bleeding, including vomiting blood, bloody or black stools, experiencing stomach ache that does not improve, symptoms get worse or last >10 days, ringing ears or loss of hearing occurs, new symptoms occur

            Pharmacokinetics

            Onset: PO, as antacid: 15 min

            Duration: PO: 1-3 hr

            Bioavailability: 4-45%, food increases absorption 10-30%
