antacids
Heartburn relief tablets
Antacids are medications that neutralize stomach acid, used to relieve heartburn, indigestion, and acid reflux.
Common forms include tablets, liquids, and chewables: I keep antacids in my desk for after lunch.
Brand names like Tums and Rolaids have become nearly synonymous with the category.
