Antacid Tablets

Antacid tablets are over-the-counter medications designed to neutralize stomach acid, providing relief from indigestion, heartburn, and acid reflux. They work by directly interacting with hydrochloric acid in the stomach, reducing irritation and discomfort. Common ingredients include magnesium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, or aluminum hydroxide. Taken orally, they act quickly to alleviate symptoms and are generally safe for occasional use. However, frequent or prolonged use should be discussed with a healthcare professional to prevent potential side effects or interactions. Antacids are effective for managing mild to moderate acid-related digestive issues when used as directed.
