Antacide

 

Antacids are drugs that can quickly relieve the symptoms associated with occasional heartburn and indigestion. They work by increasing the pH balance in your stomach. There are four different types, including sodium antacids, calcium antacids, magnesium antacids, and aluminum antacids. People who use antacids only once in a while and as directed are unlikely to experience side effects, but frequent and prolonged use can cause irreparable harm to the kidneys, heart, or bones.
