Acid Reflux Heartburn is a burning feeling in the chest caused by stomach acid travelling up towards the throat (acid reflux). If it keeps happening, it’s called gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). It's best to take antacids with food or soon after eating because this is when you're most likely to get indigestion or heartburn. Indigestion, also known as dyspepsia, is pain or discomfort in the upper abdomen often accompanied by other symptoms such as feeling bloated, heartburn, nausea and belching. Adults and adolescents aged 12 years and over should take one or two tablets as needed to relieve symptoms, up to a maximum of 8 tablets in 24 hours.

The more common over-the-counter indigestion products are antacids, usually a mixture of magnesium ( (Philip's Milk of Magnesia) and aluminium salts; calcium carbonate ( Setlers); or sodium bicarbonate ( Bisodol).

For children aged 6 to 12, take one tablet when required, up to a maximum of 4 tablets in 24 hours.

Stomach acid is produced in the stomach as a normal part of the digestive process, but too much can cause symptoms such as heartburn, indigestion and wind. By neutralising the acid, Tums antacid tablets help to relieve the associated pain and discomfort. Many different types of antacid are available. Some are sold under a brand name and others are named after their main ingredient. Brands include Gaviscon (alginic acid) and Pepto-Bismol (bismuth subsalicylate).
