Answer 1

An antacid tablet is taken when one suffers from acidity because antacids contain a component called simethicone which possess the ability to reduce gas and also neutralize the excess acid produced by the stomach.

This helps in reducing heatburn, indigestion and stomach upset.

They also reduce the possibility of duodenal ulcers and stomach pain.
