Antacids are medications used for treating indigestion,
heartburn, gastritis, and other conditions. By increasing the pH balance in your stomach, these drugs can help relieve the symptoms of conditions within the esophagus, stomach, and intestines. There are four main types of antacids, including
calcium antacids, magnesium antacids, aluminum antacids, and sodium antacids. You should consult your healthcare provider before taking any of these drugs if you are pregnant, have any chronic illnesses, or have kidney problems.
