Can I take Acard and Kaldyum together?

Why this happens

Acard is an anti-inflammatory medicine that can thin the protective lining of the stomach and gut. Kaldyum is a concentrated salt that can be physically irritating to the digestive tract. When used together, the aspirin makes the gut wall more vulnerable to the irritating effects of the potassium tablets.

You should use caution when taking these together. Always take both medicines with a full glass of water and, if possible, after a meal to protect your stomach. Do not lie down for at least 30 minutes after taking them. If you notice severe stomach pain, black/tarry stools, or persistent indigestion, contact your doctor immediately.
