Indigestion tablets (antacids) may contain: CaCO3, MgCO3, Al(OH)3, Mg(OH)2, NaHCO3, KHCO3, etc.
All these substances dissolved make an alkaline solution - to neutralize the excess of hydrochloric acid from the stomach and to control of the gastric pH.
Indigestion tablets contain three main ingredients, these are: sodium bicarbonate, calcium carbonate and light magnesium carbonate. These are called antacids.

Antacid tablets typically contain active ingredients such as calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, or aluminum hydroxide. These ingredients help neutralize excess stomach acid and provide relief from heartburn and indigestion. Antacid tablets may also contain inactive ingredients such as flavoring agents, sweeteners, and binding agents.
MgO is basic oxide and neutralises stomach acid (too much stomach acid is the main cause of indigestion/heart burn)
