Tums, which contain calcium carbonate, are generally considered safe for children when used as directed for occasional relief of heartburn or indigestion. However, excessive consumption can lead to side effects such as constipation or hypercalcemia (high calcium levels). Always consult a pediatrician before giving Tums to children, especially for ongoing issues, to ensure proper dosage and to rule out any underlying health concerns.

What is the dose for kids tums?

Tums Kids for 2-11 years old has 750mg of Calcium Carbonate. Tums Adult regular has 500mg of Cacium Carbonate.
