A suspension of aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide is frequently prescribed to treat gastric ulcer and gastritis. The proper dosage was investigated using the 1126 prescriptions from eight general hospitals and two university hospitals. The number of prescription increased along with the patient age. The ratio of prescription in the population aging over 65 years reached 41.1%. The patients were instructed to take the prescription 3 or 4 times every day; between meals or before meals and at bed time. The dosage per time was 5 ml for the ratio of 1.7% in all prescription, 10 ml at 75.7%, 15 ml at 8.1%, and 20 ml at 11.7%. The single-dose package containing 10 ml of the aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide suspension is considered advisable as a suitable dosage form for elderly patients.
