Product Description :
For prevention of heartburn, acid indigestion and sour stomach brought on by consuming food beverages.

It is a low-cost, generic over-the-counter medication that consumers can buy without a prescription. It is used to treat persistent heartburn and stomach ulcers. It works by decreasing the secretions of stomach acids. When too much stomach acid is produced, some can "leak" out in a retrograde fashion and move into the esophagus, where it can burn the lining of the esophagus and cause the sensation of heartburn.

For those with occasional bothersome mild heartburn, It is a good place to start in terms of treatment. It is relatively cheap, and it is effective in controlling mild cases of heartburn. Always best to check with your doctor first.

It is taken once or twice a day, with the usual dose being 150 to 300 mg. Read the label insert to learn what medications can potentially interact with.
