Antacid
Antacids are medications that are used to neutralize the acid in your stomach. They work by increasing the pH level of your stomach acid, which helps to relieve symptoms such as heartburn, indigestion, and acid reflux.
Antacids are typically available in tablet, liquid, or chewable form and can be purchased over-the-counter without a prescription. They are generally safe and effective when used as directed, but it's important to read and follow the instructions carefully.
Some common ingredients found in antacids include calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, and aluminum hydroxide. Different antacids may contain a combination of these ingredients, and the type of antacid that is best for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences.
While antacids can be helpful in relieving symptoms, they are not intended for long-term use. If you experience frequent or severe symptoms, it's important to talk to your healthcare provider about other treatment options.
