Best Answer

Indejestion tablets contain alkaline to clear the excess acid in your body (Low PH alkaline's clean objects without damaging the surface, alkalis can be extremely dangerous and if the alkaline is too high on the PH scale it can damage things like your skin or tile-like surfaces). Alkalis mixed with acid makes it a neutral substance for example: water. If you use a universal indicator you can accurately measure what PH it is.
