liquid antacid

Pourable stomach soother

A liquid antacid is a drinkable medication that neutralizes stomach acid, used to relieve heartburn, indigestion, or acid reflux.

The liquid form acts faster than tablets because it coats the esophagus and stomach lining on contact: She kept a bottle of liquid antacid on her nightstand.

Common brands include Maalox and Mylanta.
