Treats occasional heartburn, acid indigestion, sour stomach, and upset stomach associated with acid reflux or overeating. Used for symptomatic relief of conditions involving excess stomach acid.

Calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide neutralize existing stomach acid for quick relief, while famotidine blocks H2 histamine receptors to reduce acid production, providing longer-lasting symptom control.

Do not use for more than 2 weeks continuously unless directed by a physician. Take 2 hours before or after other medications to avoid absorption issues. Consult a doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, or taking prescription acid reducers. May cause constipation (calcium) or diarrhea (magnesium). Those with kidney disease should seek medical advice before use.
