Relief of heartburn, acid indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea, and gas-related discomfort. May also be used for mild stomach ulcers and gastritis symptoms.

Calcium and magnesium carbonates act as antacids by neutralizing hydrochloric acid in the stomach, while bismuth subnitrate provides a protective coating over the stomach lining and may help inhibit certain bacteria. The combination works synergistically to address multiple digestive symptoms.

May cause darkening of stool or tongue, which is harmless. Avoid taking within 1-2 hours of other medications as antacids can affect absorption. Not recommended for use in children with viral diarrhea due to potential Reye's syndrome risk. Consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist beyond two weeks or if you have kidney disease.
