Magnesium hydroxide can affect the absorption or activity of several medicines; interactions are classified by clinical significance.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Tetracycline antibiotics: magnesium binds and markedly reduces absorption. - Quinolone antibiotics (e.g., ciprofloxacin): decreased bioavailability when taken together. - Iron supplements: magnesium hydroxide impairs iron absorption.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Calcium carbonate or other antacids: additive antacid effect may cause excess alkalinity. - Warfarin: possible alteration of INR; monitor coagulation parameters. - Diuretics (especially thiazides): may exacerbate electrolyte disturbances.
