Antacid Chewables
Antacid chewables are over-the-counter remedies that ease heartburn and acid indigestion. Some people prefer these to liquid and seltzer antacids because they're portable and easy to consume. Select from chewable antacid tablets and soft chews in different flavors.
What are the Best Antacid Chewables Brands?
Which Antacid Chewables Are Best?
Heartburn is a burning sensation in the chest and throat caused by digestive acids in the stomach moving into the esophagus. Antacid chewables contain ingredients that help counteract the acids causing discomfort.
The best chewable antacid depends on your needs. You may find that a basic antacid from a brand such as TUMS is enough to alleviate heartburn symptoms. If you also feel pressure from bloating, consider a multi-symptom formulation. Rolaids, for example, offers preparations that integrate an antacid with gas relief.
Antacids are designed to remedy symptoms you already have, but some brands, such as Pepcid, also include an acid reducer to control acid levels. These products contain histamine-2 blockers, such as famotidine, that aim to suppress the amount of acid produced by the stomach to help prevent heartburn.
Antacid chewable tablets are discreet and convenient. Single tablets come in resealable containers that you can keep in your office or car until needed. Soft chews are individually wrapped, so you can take a few with you when you're on the go.
Why Should Antacid Tablets Be Chewed?
The ingredients in antacid chewables start to work when they come into contact with digestive acids. For best results, chew antacid tablets thoroughly before swallowing. This helps break down the tablet and release active ingredients, so they can reach and neutralize stomach acids.
Companies produce antacids in different flavors to make them more appealing to consume. Choose from mint or fruit flavors, including strawberry, cherry and citrus. You can also find antacid chewables in various forms to accommodate texture preferences:
Hard, chewable tablets
Soft chews
Tablets with a hard outer shell and chewy center
If you prefer not to chew an antacid, you can opt for antacid liquids, effervescents and dissolving solids.
Are Chewable Antacids Effective?
Chewable antacids tend to be effective for mild and occasional heartburn and indigestion. Consult your health care provider if your symptoms persist, as you may have an underlying condition causing your discomfort.
Most antacids are recommended for people over the age of 12, but products for children's digestive health are available as well. You can also shop CVS for remedies for other digestive health issues, such as lactose intolerance and gas or bloating.
