Consumer information for this minor interaction is not currently available. Some minor drug interactions may not be clinically relevant in all patients. Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare provider can determine if adjustments to your medications are needed.

Professional:

The manufacturer reports that the coadministration of atorvastatin and Maalox TC (aluminum hydroxide-magnesium hydroxide) led to 35% decrease in plasma concentrations of atorvastatin. However, LDL-C reduction was not altered. The mechanism is unknown, but may be due to a chelation effect. The clinician may want to monitor the patient more closely for a decreased antihyperlipidemic effect.
