Definition:

An antacid is a substance which neutralizes stomach acidity and is used to relieve heartburn, indigestion or an upset stomach.

Working:

Antacids work by counteracting (neutralising) the acid in your stomach. They do this because the chemicals in antacids are bases (alkalis) which are the opposite of acids. A reaction between an acid and base is called neutralisation.

Examples:

Milk of Magnesia.

Gaviscon, Gelusil, Maalox, Mylanta, Rolaids.

Pepto-Bismol.

Among these milk of magnesia is the most common one..
