chemist,
the antacids things, i was just thinking, neurontin is effectively blocked (its absorbtion) when antacids or magnesium are present in the stomach within 2 hours approx.
This presents some intersting theories.
antacids are calcium, are they not? and magnesium increases the seizure threshold while calcium effectvely lowers it. neurontin works via calcium channels. do you see what i am getting at?
how could both calcium and magnesium inhibit the absorbtion of neurontin? they must compete to cross the same space in the BBB?
If this is true, then , I dunno. I just have a lot of novel theories on many diverse diseases. What do you think about this (sorry to keep irritating you on this, but I keep coming up with some interesting ideas/points. I;m not a chemist like yourself so im sure this is easy to answer for you, but a lot of people tell me I'm going to cure diseases one day..!
