Due to the adsorption of chloroquine by magnesium trisilicate, both the BP acid absorption test and the rate of hydrochloric acid uptake, as monitored by pH measurements, were significantly reduced. This reduction was dependent on the amount of chloroquine adsorbed, since multilayer adsorption produced relatively more suppressive effects than did monolayer adsorption. The presence of adsorbed chloroquine also decreased the amounts of magnesium released in an acid medium. The inhibition of the antacid property due to chloroquine adsorption may be attributed to the occupation of the reactive sites of the antacid surface by chloroquine and to a reduction of the surface of the antacid due to flocculation of the particles.
