An antacid has base in it. As we know when acid and base react salt and water is formed and this reaction is known as neutralisation reaction. So an antacid is used to neutralise acid.

Magnesium oxide commonly knowm as milk of magnesia is used as an antacid which when enters stomach neutralises excess hydrochloridc acid due to which acidity occurs.
