Antacids reduce the effects of acid in your stomach. They do this by neutralizing the acid. H2 blockers reduce the amount of acid your stomach makes. While they don't relieve symptoms as quick as antacids, they do last longer.

Yes, its true that antacids relief hyperacidity. Its because antacids are mild bases that neutralize the excess acid secreted by our stomach. (stomach acid)


Stomach acid is important to the digestive system. It helps us process food and it kills harmful bacteria. The stomach makes the hormone called gastrin, which creates hydrochloric acid. (otherwise known as stomach acid) Our diet, environment, and even stress can be contributing factors to excessive stomach acid.


Hence to cure it, we take antacids. Antacids reduce excess stomach acid to relieve heartburn, sour stomach, acid indigestion, and stomach upset. They can also be used to relieve the pain of stomach and duodenal ulcers. Some antacids contain simethicone, which reduces gas.


Therefore, intake of antacids during acidity is necessary....
