How do antacids work?

Antacids work by neutralizing acid and coating the stomach. Antacids should be taken 1 hour after meals or when gastro esophageal reflux disease symptoms occur. Liquid antacids usually work faster than tablets or chewable. Antacids are useful because they relieve symptoms rapidly. But relief is only temporary. Over-the-counter antacids do not prevent symptoms from returning or rarely allow an injured esophagus to heal.

Also, Bactrim should not be taken by those with sulfa allergies.

Why decrease ranitidine absorption with antacids?

Ranitidine absorption can be decreased by antacids because antacids increase the pH level in the stomach, which can affect the solubility and absorption of ranitidine. Ranitidine, being a weak base, may have altered pharmacokinetics when the stomach's acidic environment is neutralized by antacids, leading to reduced bioavailability. Additionally, the timing of administration can also impact the effectiveness, as antacids may physically interfere with the absorption of ranitidine if taken simultaneously. Therefore, it is often recommended to space out the dosing of these medications.


What are the antacids for?

Antacids are taken by mouth to relieve heartburn, the major symptom of gastroesophageal reflux disease, or acid indigestion. Treatment with antacids alone is symptomatic and only justified for minor symptoms. The treatment of ulcers resulting from excessive acidity may requireH2-receptor antagonists or proton pump inhibitors, and eradication of H. pylori.
