Answer:
Antacids
Explanation:
How antacids work
Antacids are over-the-counter (OTC) medications that help neutralize stomach acid.
They work differently from other acid reducers such as H2 receptor blockers and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Those drugs work by reducing or preventing the secretion of stomach acid.
Antacids can be used to treat symptoms of excess stomach acid, such as:
acid reflux, which can include regurgitation, bitter taste, persistent dry cough, pain when lying down, and trouble swallowing
heartburn, which is a burning sensation in your chest or throat caused by acid reflux
indigestion, which is pain in your upper gut that can feel like gas or bloating
Types of antacids
Antacids usually come in the following drug forms:
liquid
chewable gummy or tablet
tablet that you dissolve in water to drink
