Pareira + Aluminum Hydroxide
Aluminum Hydroxide brand names: Amphojel, Gaviscon, Alu-Cap.
We found no known interaction between Pareira and Aluminum Hydroxide in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first.
Pareira and Aluminum Hydroxide
We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.
No Known Interaction Found
We did not find a documented interaction between Aluminum Hydroxide and Pareira in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.
Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Pareira at all — not against Aluminum Hydroxide, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.
If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.
Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Aluminum Hydroxide page
“An antacid sounds harmless, and that is exactly why the supplement interactions with aluminum hydroxide (Amphojel, Gaviscon) deserve real attention before you combine it with much of anything. The most serious entry is activated charcoal, which can soak up many medications in the gut and sharply cut how much of them your body actually…”

About Pareira
What is Pareira?
- Urinary tract complaints
- Bladder irritation and inflammation
- Kidney stones
- Fluid retention (diuretic use)
- Digestive upset
Pareira is a traditional plant remedy, mainly from the South American vine Chondrodendron tomentosum, that has long been used for urinary and bladder complaints. Modern scientific evidence in humans is very limited, and some related plants in this group contain powerful muscle-relaxing compounds, so it should be used cautiously and only under professional guidance.
Chondrodendron tomentosum · Menispermaceae · Root and woody stem (bark) · Dried root, tincture, fluid extract, homeopathic preparations
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Pareira is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Pareira record says about it on its own.
Pareira: dosing
There is no established standardized dose for pareira, and products vary widely in strength and form. Because of this, it is not possible to recommend a specific safe and effective amount.If you choose to use a pareira product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed the recommended amount.
From our Pareira monograph — the full record covers uses, side effects and every documented interaction.

Aluminum Hydroxide Is Linked to Lower Levels of 5 Nutrients
Natural Medicines records Aluminum Hydroxide as a medicine that can lower these. This is not an interaction with Pareira — it is a separate effect of the medicine, and it is a reason some people are advised to supplement rather than to avoid one:
