The drug reduces acidity in the stomach and is a good remedy for heartburn, upset stomachs and acid indigestion. It should only be taken in minor cases, and is not suitable to treat stomach ulcers. The drug, if taken regularly can provide too much calcium to some patients, and it is advised that too much of any of this type of drug will increase the stomachs vulnerability to infection. This is because the antacids attack the acids in the stomach, some of which are needed to digest and absorb certain nutrients, especially vitamin B12. A lack of vitamin B12 can lead to a variety of complaints including enlarged red blood cells.
