Contraindicated (1) • raltegravir aluminum hydroxide/magnesium trisilicate will decrease the level or effect of raltegravir by enhancing GI absorption. Applies only to oral form of both agents. Contraindicated. Not recommended with or without dose separation Serious - Use Alternative (7) • atazanavir aluminum hydroxide/magnesium trisilicate will decrease the level or effect of atazanavir by increasing gastric pH. Applies only to oral form of both agents. Avoid or Use Alternate Drug. Atazanavir solubility decreases as pH increases.

What is aluminum hydroxide/magnesium trisilicate, and what is it used for? Aluminum hydroxide/magnesium trisilicate is a combination medication used to relieve symptoms of Both aluminum hydroxide and magnesium trisilicate are antacids that neutralize the hydrochloric acid in the stomach, protecting the gastrointestinal (GI) lining from its corrosive effects. Neither antacid has an effect on the stomach’s acid production. Aluminum hydroxide combines with hydrochloric acid in the stomach to form aluminum chloride and water, which increases the gastric pH and reduces the activity of pepsin, the enzyme that breaks down protein. Magnesium trisilicate also combines with hydrochloric acid to form magnesium salt and water, increasing the gastric pH. It further precipitates colloidal silica, which coats the stomach lining and provides further protection.
