Is aluminum hydroxide safe for patients with anemia and can its use contribute to complications related to iron absorption or other aspects of red blood cell production in individuals with this condition?
Aluminum hydroxide may interfere with iron absorption, potentially exacerbating anemia by reducing iron available for hemoglobin synthesis.
Aluminum hydroxide antacids can bind to dietary iron, lowering its absorption, which might worsen anemia in sensitive individuals.
