Question
Answer

🗑
Antacid Agents Indications: )   episodic minor gastric indigestion or heartburn, peptic ulcer, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD  
🗑
Antacid Agents Side effects:   acid rebound phenomenon, constipation or diarrhea (depending on the antacid), may effect metabolism of other medications, electrolyte imbalances
