Drug Overview

Antacid Extra Strength is a chewable tablet that contains calcium carbonate (750 mg), which is a common ingredient used to relieve symptoms of acid indigestion and heartburn. Available in a variety of berry flavors, this product is designed to provide quick relief from discomfort caused by excess stomach acid.

Manufactured by WinCo Foods, Antacid Extra Strength works similarly to other antacids, such as TUMS® Extra Strength, helping to neutralize stomach acid and alleviate the burning sensation associated with heartburn.

Uses

If you're experiencing discomfort from acid indigestion or heartburn, this medication can help relieve those symptoms. Acid indigestion is often characterized by a burning sensation in your stomach or chest, while heartburn is the feeling of warmth or pain that can occur after eating.

You can use this medication to find relief from these common digestive issues, allowing you to feel more comfortable throughout your day. Rest assured, there are no known teratogenic effects (harmful effects on fetal development) associated with this medication, making it a safer option for those who may be concerned about such risks.

Dosage and Administration

You can manage your symptoms by chewing 2 to 4 tablets whenever they occur, or you can follow your doctor's specific instructions if they have provided any. Make sure to take the tablets as needed to help alleviate your discomfort effectively. Always consult with your healthcare provider if you have any questions about how to use this medication.

What to Avoid

Following these guidelines helps ensure your safety and well-being while using this medication.

Side Effects

When using this product, it's important to be aware of potential interactions with prescription medications, particularly if you are currently taking any. Antacids can affect how these drugs work, so consulting with a doctor or pharmacist before use is advisable.
