1/23/23 sh Maalox 30 mL UD cup Shortage (med id 26563)

Aluminum hydroxide-magnesium hydroxide 1,200 mg/1,200 mg/30 mL UD cups are on backorder and unavailable to purchase.

We are going to need to substitute with aluminum hydroxide-magnesium hydroxide PLUS simethicone 1,200 mg/1,200 mg/120 mg/30 mL UD cup until the backorder resolves. 
This is an OTC, so I would like to use Maalox plain and Maalox + simethicone interchangeably until the backorder resolves.
