- Because aluminum oxide is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, systemic effects in persons with normal renal function are uncommon. Excessive doses, long-term use, or even typical doses in individuals on low-phosphorus diets can cause phosphate depletion (due to aluminium-phosphate binding), accelerated bone resorption, hypercalciuria, and osteomalacia. Long-term use or people who are at danger of phosphate deficiency should seek medical guidance.

Long-term exposure to large dosages of aluminum and magnesium salts may cause dementia and microcytic anemia in these patients. Patients with porphyria who are receiving hemodialysis may be at risk from aluminum hydroxide.
