Provides relief from heartburn, acid indigestion, sour stomach, and symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Also used as a calcium supplement when prescribed for this purpose.
Calcium and magnesium carbonates are alkaline compounds that work by directly neutralizing excess stomach acid, raising gastric pH to reduce acidity and irritation. The magnesium component also has a mild laxative effect that counteracts constipation from calcium carbonate.
Should not be used as a long-term solution for chronic acid problems. May reduce absorption of certain medications if taken simultaneously. People with kidney disease, hypercalcemia, or on calcium-restricted diets should consult a healthcare provider before use. Do not exceed recommended dosing.
