Best Answer

Antacids work only in the stomach and pylorus, where the powerful stomach acid secretions can cause irritation and damage to the tissues. Ordinary antacids neutralize some of this acid to reduce discomfort. However, damage (e.g. ulcers) can still occur.

In the duodenum, basic secretions including bile from the liver neutralize the acid pH.
