The FDA warning on Maalox Total Relief is not a recall, happened in January, and only applies to Maalox Total Relief, which people didn’t realize contained real dosage-sensitive pharmaceuticals (similar to aspirin).
Although I can find no official sources, people on forums I Googled are claiming Maalox is refurbishing factories, and has not been able to meet demand with its factories sidelined.
All I was looking for was plain old Maalox not the higher end totally different product Maalox Total Relief. Just something for a temporary upset because I ate something that I do not normally eat, that did not agree with my stomach.
I may buy 2 bottles a year for stuff like that.
If you need stronger stuff, then you need to see your Gastro Doc first, never know when constant reflux isn’t a more serious issue.
Lots of RX meds cause acid reflux, especially arthritis meds. And if left untreated can become a secondary health issue.
We are now taking pills to counteract other pills side effects. Which is why a lot of us take multiple RX’s especially seniors.
