Taking Adderall and ammonium chloride together can decrease the amount of Adderall in the blood, perhaps making Adderall less effective. Your healthcare provider may need to increase your dose of Adderall.
 
Certain Antacids
Taking Adderall with very high doses of certain antacids (such as calcium carbonate) can increase the amount of Adderall in the blood, resulting in possible side effects. This is probably not a problem with occasional use of antacids. Your healthcare provider may need to adjust your dose of these medications.
