USES: Antacids neutralize and reduce stomach acid relieving heartburn and indigestion. Antacids are used to treat an upset stomach, ulcers, hiatal hernia or other digestive disorders.

HOW TO USE: Take this medication as directed. Do not skip any doses, use this more often or increase your dose without consulting your doctor. Too much antacid can actually increase the amount of acid the stomach produces. The liquid form should be shaken well before pouring each dose. Chewable tablets must be chewed well before swallowing followed by a full glass of water.
