“Indigestion refers to pain and discomfort in the stomach associated with difficulty in digesting food.”
Antacids are neutralizing, absorbing agents taken to relieve heartburn or indigestion caused by excess stomach acid. They typically contain salts of magnesium, aluminum, calcium and sodium. Antacids work by raising the gastric pH and are also used to provide symptomatic relief from peptic ulcers.
Eg: Prilosec OTC.
Pepto Bismol etc.
