Treats occasional indigestion, heartburn, acid reflux, and mild diarrhea. May also be used as a calcium supplement for individuals with low dietary calcium intake.
Calcium carbonate acts as a buffering agent, neutralizing excess stomach acid to provide rapid relief from heartburn and indigestion. Pectin works as a soluble fiber, absorbing excess water in the intestines and adding bulk to stool, which helps normalize bowel movements and supports gut health.
Take as directed, typically with water. Separate from other medications by at least 2 hours to avoid absorption interference. May cause constipation in some users. Consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist beyond two weeks or if you have kidney disease, as calcium content requires monitoring. Not recommended as a primary treatment for chronic acid reflux or severe digestive conditions.
