Answer 2

The correct answer for the therapy given in the question is option c: Both A and B.

• Antacids are medications that come in a variety of dose forms and are used for people who have stomach acidity or hyperacidity.
• This is due to the rise in the concentration of acid in the stomach, which generates a burning feeling.
• The chemistry of neutralization reactions causes acids to be neutralized by bases.
• Patients are advised to take antacids if their stomach acid levels are excessive.
• These antacids are alkaline substances or the base in nature that promote gastric neutralization.
• It raises the stomach's pH from a severely acidic pH to a neutral pH of 7 (option a).
• As a result, the acid content in gastric juice and that which enters the duodenum is reduced, and the burning feeling caused by acidity is alleviated (option b).
• As a result, both options a and b are correct.
