what are some common ingredients in antacids
There are over 120 different antacid formulations in the United States alone. Most of them contain at least one of these key ingredients: Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium Hydroxide, Aluminum Hydroxide and/or Sodium Bicarbonate.his is because they don't work on the acid that is in your stomach right now. They work by reducing the amount of acid your body produces. The longer an antacid stays in the stomach, the longer it works. And having some food in yours stomach may actually prolong an antacids effect.
