Tums

Chewable stomach soothers

Tums is a brand name for antacid tablets containing calcium carbonate, used to relieve heartburn, acid indigestion, and upset stomach.

The chalky, chewable tablets neutralize stomach acid on contact.

Though a trademark, the name often appears generically: I need some Tums after that spicy meal.
