Interaction

Gastro-Teva, like other antacids, interacts with some other drugs that are used orally. On the one hand, it enhances the effect of levodopa and nalidixic acid. On the other hand, it reduces the effect of drugs taken at the same time (there is a decrease in the amount of absorption from the gastrointestinal tract). As a preventive measure, a break should be made between taking antacids and other medicines.
