Gastric malignancy should be ruled out. Severe hepatic impairment. Pregnancy and lactation. Monitoring Parameters Monitor Mg levels prior to initiation and periodically during prolonged use. Lactation Risk Summary Lactation studies have not been conducted to assess presence in human milk, effects on breastfed infant, or effects on milk production; drug is present in rat milk; development and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with mother’s clinical need for therapy and any potential adverse effects on breastfed infant from drug or from underlying maternal condition

May increase plasma concentration of saquinavir and methotrexate. Decreased serum levels w/ sucralfate.
