Why has maalox been taken off the shelves?

Answer 1

Mylanta has been taken off he shelves because the label needs to be updated. it has (<1%) acohol in it that the label never mentions. The acohol is in the flavor agents.

In April 2012 Novartis, the manufacturer of Maalox and Benfiber, recalled both products due to the possible presence of opioids in both products. Check the web for recalled lot numbers.
