Explanation:

Antacids contain active ingredients that are bases. These allow antacids to neutralize any stomach acid which could be causing digestive discomfort. This will decrease the acidity of the stomach and shift the pH to a slightly higher number on the right.

Answer:

As our stomach contains hydrochloric acid, and too much of this causes indigestion; indigestion tablets contain a base to neutralise the extra acid.
