@explainique: Ever wonder why Tums can relieve heartburn so quickly? Unlike medications that reduce acid production, antacids work by neutralizing stomach acid that’s already there. That’s why they can provide fast relief for heartburn, acid indigestion, and occasional reflux symptoms. The trade-off? Fast relief, but usually shorter-lasting effects compared to medications like H2 blockers or PPIs. Simple idea: antacids don’t stop acid from being made — they neutralize the acid that already exists. #Antacids #Tums #Heartburn #AcidReflux #Pharmacology
