Common bases found in antacids include magnesium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, and aluminum hydroxide. These bases work by neutralizing excess stomach acid to provide relief from conditions like heartburn and indigestion.
An analogy for the way antacids neutralize acids is like adding baking soda to vinegar to produce carbon dioxide gas. In this reaction, the base (baking soda) reacts with the acid (vinegar) to form a neutral product (carbon dioxide). Similarly, antacids neutralize stomach acid by reacting with it to form neutral compounds and reduce acidity in the stomach.
Antacids are weak bases that help neutralize excess stomach acid. They work by raising the pH level in the stomach, providing relief from conditions like heartburn and indigestion. While antacids are effective at managing symptoms, they are not considered strong bases in the chemical sense.
Antacids neutralize stomach acid in the same way that a fire extinguisher puts out a fire. Just as the extinguisher counteracts the flames, antacids counterbalance the acidity in the stomach to provide relief from heartburn and indigestion.
The pH level in your stomach is between 2 and 3 which is an acid. The antacids bring the pH level up to a 5 or 6 which is not quite neutral but is still less acidic.
Milk of Magnesia is magnesium hydroxide. It is basic in nature and is one of antacids, which is used to curb acidity.
Calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide and/or aluminum hydroxide are the bases of some antacids.
Base salts
Simeco is a mixture of antacids; the pH is basic.

Antacids are a base called magnesium hydroxide. They help to neutralize stomach acids and balance out the stomachs Ph.

Antacids are basic salts or hydroxides.
The Chemicals in antacids are called agga
Antacids are medicine that counteract acidity. The different types of antacids are sodium antacids (Alka-seltzers), calcium antacids (Tums) and magnesium antacids (Maalox).
Antacids are weak bases that help neutralize excess stomach acid. They work by raising the pH level in the stomach, providing relief from conditions like heartburn and indigestion. While antacids are effective at managing symptoms, they are not considered strong bases in the chemical sense.
The composition of antacids is very different; see the link below.
Antacids should not normally be taken with other medicines.
