It is not recommended to simultaneously consume Talcid and drinks containing acid (wine and juices). During the course of treatment, you should follow the recommended diet to reduce the effect of provoking factors. Afterwards, a gastroenterological examination is prescribed. In most untreated cases, the course gives a positive clinical result.
Compatibility with other drugs
Hydrotalcite reduces the effectiveness of some medications because it affects their absorption:
- tetracycline antibiotics;
- ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin;
- anticoagulants (coumarin);
- cimetidine;
- iron supplements;
- digoxin;
- chenodeoxycholic acid.
If you have to combine Talcid with the above remedies, you should maintain a time interval between them - at least 2 hours.

What are antacid drugs?
The drug Talcid refers to antacid drugs, which are intended for the relief of symptoms and subsequent treatment of acid-related gastrointestinal diseases by neutralizing hydrochloric acid, which is part of the gastric juice.
Groups of antacid drugs:
- absorbable
- non-absorbable
Absorbable antacids
These include: sodium bicarbonate, magnesium oxide, Rennie's mixture, Bourget's mixture, Tums mixture, magnesium carbonate basic and calcium carbonate basic.
All of them enter into a direct neutralization reaction with hydrochloric acid in the lumen of the stomach. Their advantage is their quick effect. However, there is a drawback here - the effect of absorbed antacids does not last long.
