Evaluating your likely current (and near future) state of health means taking into account the risk factors — such as aluminum-based antacid use — that affect you. Our medical diagnosis tool, The Analyst™, identifies major risk factors by asking the right questions.
Have you used aluminum-based antacids? Examples include Maalox and Mylanta.
Possible responses:
→ No / don't know→ Minor use in the past only → Significant use in the past only → Currently using, for up to 6 months → Currently using, for more than 6 months |
Antacids that contain aluminum are potentially dangerous. They should not be freely used for a condition that will respond to an increase in water intake such as stomach ulcers.
