Yes. Maalox, an antacid containing magnesium and aluminum, can affect diagnostic tests for Helicobacter pylori, especially the urease test and breath test.
If you have a scheduled H. pylori test, it is important to tell your doctor about all the medications you are taking, including Maalox. Your doctor may tell you to stop using antacids for a few days before the test to ensure the accuracy of your results. The typical period in which such drugs should be avoided before the test is about 1-2 weeks, but the exact guidelines should be given by the doctor.
Maalox can be purchased from an online pharmacy:
