Is aluminum hydroxide considered safe for long-term use and what are the potential risks or concerns associated with prolonged treatment for conditions such as GERD or ulcers?
Aluminum hydroxide is generally safe for short-term use, but long-term use can lead to osteoporosis, kidney disease, and anemia.
Prolonged use of aluminum hydroxide can cause constipation, phosphate depletion, and increased risk of aluminum buildup, particularly in those with kidney issues.
