Abstract
Antacid pharmaceutical compositions provide optimal buffering profiles of from 3.0 to 5.0 for immediate and long lasting relief from the symptoms of acid indigestion, sour stomach, heartburn and gas. The composition may comprise a dual or tripartite combination of the actives calcium carbonate, calcium or magnesium citrate and/or calcium phosphate which, as a result of their different activities, neutralize the excess stomach acid both immediately and continuously over time. The formulations also provide the individual with alternative dosage forms which may provide greater levels of calcium, less sodium and less production of gastrointestinal gas.
