Mylanta as a 'drug' name for the substance generically named: 'Antacid'

An antacid is any substance, generally a base or basic salt, which neutralizes stomach acidity.

Mylanta contains aluminum hydroxide, which is more basicthan acidic.This is also true for Gaviscon. Other brands may contain CaCO3 as anti-acid.
