Comment

Ref #2416 : Monograph recommends not to give raltegravir or raltegravir HD with antacids containing aluminum or magnesium. Antacids with calcium carbonate are not recommended with raltegravir HD and they also reduced raltegravir Cmin but this decrease is considered clinically non-significant.

For more details, see raltegravir + Aluminium/Magnesium hydroxyde and raltegravir + calcium (antacid).
