What Is Aluminum?
Alternagel (aluminum hydroxide) is a prescription antacid medication used to manage excess stomach acid, heartburn, acid indigestion, and hyperphosphatemia in patients with kidney disease. It works by neutralizing gastric acid in the stomach and binding dietary phosphate in the gut to reduce absorption. With the right dose and ongoing monitoring, aluminum hydroxide can provide reliable relief and help maintain appropriate phosphate balance.

Frequently asked questions
Aluminum hydroxide is an antacid used to relieve symptoms of excess stomach acid including heartburn, acid indigestion, and sour stomach. It is also prescribed to lower elevated phosphate levels in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Aluminum hydroxide works by chemically neutralizing hydrochloric acid in the stomach, raising the gastric pH and reducing the irritating effects of excess acid. When used for kidney disease, it binds phosphate in the intestine so it is excreted rather than absorbed into the bloodstream.
Aluminum hydroxide is typically taken by mouth between meals and at bedtime, or as directed by your physician. Dosage and frequency depend on the condition being treated. Always follow your prescriber's specific instructions.
The most common side effects include constipation and a chalky taste. Long-term or high-dose use may lead to low phosphate levels (hypophosphatemia), bone loss, or aluminum accumulation, particularly in people with kidney disease. Contact your doctor if side effects are bothersome or persistent.
Aluminum hydroxide can interfere with the absorption of several medications including certain antibiotics, thyroid medications, and other antacids. Take it at least 2 hours before or after other medications unless your doctor advises otherwise. Always inform your physician of all medications you take.
People with severely reduced kidney function, low blood phosphate levels, or a known allergy to aluminum-containing compounds should use this medication with caution or avoid it. A physician review is important to determine if it is appropriate for your situation.
Doctronic uses an AI-guided evaluation to collect your health history and symptoms. A licensed physician then reviews your information, confirms whether a refill is appropriate, and provides a treatment plan. The entire process is doctor-reviewed and audited for your safety.
