Simeco Special Precautions

The recommended dose should not be exceeded without medical advice.
In renal failure and long term use in particular, there is an increased risk of phosphate depletion syndrome with hypercalciuria and osteomalacia or aluminum ion-induced deterioration in dementia syndrome in patients receiving chronic renal dialysis.
Caution is also required in individuals with severe constipation, especially elderly ones, or following a low-sodium diet.
When there is a need for other medicines, these may be taken at two-hour intervals.
Use in Pregnancy: There are no adequate clinical studies in pregnant women. However, aluminum and magnesium-containing antacids are generally considered safe for use during the last two trimesters of pregnancy as long as chronic high doses are avoided. Problems with Dimethicone use have not been documented during all three trimesters of pregnancy.
Use in Lactation: There is no evidence to suggest that Dimethicone, aluminum and magnesium-containing antacids should not be given to breast feeding mothers.
Consult the Doctor: If the patient notices other side effects that the he/she thinks are caused by this medicine, tell the doctor.
