This medication is used to treat symptoms of excess stomach acid including heartburn, acid indigestion, sour stomach, and gastroesophageal reflux. It provides rapid relief from symptoms caused by overeating, spicy foods, caffeine, or alcohol.

Calcium carbonate acts as a fast-acting acid neutralizer, quickly raising the pH of stomach contents. Magnesium trisilicate works more slowly but provides a protective coating on the stomach lining. Together, these ingredients complement each other while the magnesium component helps counteract potential constipation caused by the calcium.

This medication may interfere with absorption of certain prescription medications including antibiotics and iron supplements. It should not be used by individuals with kidney problems without medical supervision. Prolonged use or use at high doses should be avoided unless directed by a healthcare provider.
