The pH increase with the help of an antacid.
If the antacid is basic, litmus paper would turn blue. If the antacid is acidic, litmus paper would turn red.
An antacid contains hydroxides of magnesium and aluminium, bicarbonates of calcium and sodium.
As an antacid is added to hydrochloric acid (HCl), the pH of the solution initially increases due to the neutralization reaction between the acid and the basic components of the antacid. Over time, as more antacid is introduced, the pH continues to rise until it stabilizes at a higher value, depending on the amount and strength of the antacid used. If the antacid is sufficient to neutralize all the HCl, the pH will approach neutral (around 7). However, if excess antacid is added, the pH may rise above 7, indicating a basic solution.
Taking an antacid is an example of a chemical reaction known as a neutralization reaction. In this reaction, the antacid reacts with stomach acid to form water and a salt, which helps to reduce acidity in the stomach.
can u drink alcohol while taking lansoprazole 30mg?
yes
Yes you can. Prevacid (lansoprazole) and ibuprofen will not interact.
Yes, it is a antacid.
Yes, it is a antacid.
yes
Antacid is basic, not acidic.
They do not cancel each other out but there is evidence that lansoprazole (Prevacid) may decrease the effectiveness of clopidogrel (Plavix).
A person can buy a similar product to lansoprazole over-the-counter. One such product is omeprazole or 'Prilosec OTC'. Lansoprazole is also sold over-the-counter as the product 'Prevacid 24 HR'. These medications are for acid reflux and stomach ulcers.
An antacid is considered a base.
Yes, it is generally okay to take antacids while using Lansoprazole, but it's best to space them out. Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that reduces stomach acid production, while antacids neutralize existing stomach acid. To avoid potential interactions, it's recommended to take antacids at least 2 hours after taking Lansoprazole. Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
