Before you buy

Antacids act on acid already present rather than on its production, which is what separates them from the antiulcerant group. They can interfere with the absorption of other medicines taken at the same time. Some products in this section require a prescription, and the product page states where that applies. Frequent or daily need for an antacid is worth raising with a registered doctor.
