KnowraAntacidLinked fromLinked fromThe 17 pages that link to Antacid, each with the reason it gives.All 17Broader topic 1Related 4Narrower topic 3Compared with 9Calcium carbonateRelated: Calcium carbonate neutralizes hydrochloric acid and is used in antacid tablets.Acid–base titrationRelated: Back-titration can quantify an antacid’s acid-neutralizing capacity.Gastric acidCompared with: Unlike acid-suppressing drugs, antacids counter acid already present in the stomach.Sodium bicarbonateNarrower topic: Sodium bicarbonate acts as a fast-acting antacid by neutralizing hydrochloric acid.NeutralizationRelated: Antacids use acid–base reactions to consume some gastric acid.Proton pump inhibitorCompared with: Antacids act rapidly on existing acid, unlike inhibitors that reduce its production.Over-the-counter drugBroader topic: Antacids are a familiar OTC option for occasional heartburn and indigestion.FamotidineCompared with: Antacids act quickly by neutralization, whereas famotidine reduces subsequent acid secretion.Magnesium hydroxideNarrower topic: Magnesium hydroxide is a non-systemic antacid that acts by neutralization.OmeprazoleCompared with: Antacids act quickly on existing acid, whereas omeprazole suppresses subsequent acid secretion.Aluminium hydroxideNarrower topic: Aluminium hydroxide is a common active ingredient in antacid products.Magnesium carbonateRelated: Magnesium carbonate can neutralize gastric acid and is used in some antacid preparations.Barry MarshallCompared with: They can ease ulcer symptoms but do not eradicate the bacterium Marshall implicated.LansoprazoleCompared with: Unlike lansoprazole, it acts by neutralization rather than prolonged suppression of acid production.PantoprazoleCompared with: They act quickly by neutralization, while pantoprazole suppresses new acid secretion.EsomeprazoleCompared with: Unlike esomeprazole, antacids act quickly by neutralizing existing acid rather than reducing its production.RanitidineCompared with: Unlike ranitidine, antacids act directly on existing acid rather than reducing its secretion.
