Please explain what you are asking. Why are you asking? You have a patient that:

• Takes Lantus daily and took Mylanta once and became hypoglycemic
• Takes Mylanta regularly and added Lantus and became hypoglycemic.

Do you know the difference between causality and correlation?

Are there any documented interactions between Aluminum and Magesium Hydroxide with simethicone and Lantus or any other insulin?

Are there more likely causes of the hypoglycemia than an interaction between the two medications. You tell me.

There's got to be more to the story.
