Summary
Pazopanib absorption depends on an acidic gastric environment, and antacids raise gastric pH. This may reduce pazopanib exposure and efficacy.
What this interaction means in plain words
Aluminum hydroxide / magnesium carbonate and Pazopanib can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.
Why it happens
Raised gastric pH decreases pazopanib solubility and absorption.
What to do
Separate pazopanib and the antacid by at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after. Prefer short-acting antacids over PPIs or H2 antagonists.
