Hi Racer,
Thanks for posting that, its something I wouldn't mind trying to see if it could possibly reduce side effects from Topamax. Sounds interesting...i'm going to have a look on the web to see if I can find some further information on how much you should take etc..
Only problem is lol I take Neurontin and Maalox has an interaction...
gabapentin and Al hydroxide/Mg hydroxide/simethicone (minor Drug-Drug)
Description:
Aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide antacids may decrease the bioavailability of gabapentin by as much as 20%. A dose of aluminum or magnesium hydroxide should precede a dose of gabapentin by at least two hours. Other antacids that contain aluminum or magnesium may interact with gabapentin in a similar fashion.Only a small interaction and I think gabapentin is mostly taken safe with everything...except Maalox LOL
Thanks for mentioning it though, and i'll see what I can find and may try it...
Kind regards
Nick
