Antacids neutralise the acid made by your stomach. They are commonly used in conditions where it is helpful to neutralise the acid made in the stomach. For example, for acid reflux which causes heartburn. Most people who take antacids do not develop any side-effects.

Explanation:

Antacids neutralize stomach acid to cut down on heartburn, sour stomach, acid indigestion, and stomach upset. Some antacids also contain simethicone, an ingredient that helps your body get rid of gas. Some antacids contain ingredients that can cause diarrhea, such as magnesium, or constipation, such as aluminum.

Examples of antacids include:

Aluminum hydroxide gel (Alternagel, Amphojel)

Calcium carbonate (Alka-Seltzer, Tums)

Magnesium hydroxide (Milk of Magnesia)

Gaviscon, Gelusil, Maalox, Mylanta, Rolaids
