Antacid syrup is a liquid medication widely used to treat digestive system issues caused by excessive stomach acid. It works by neutralizing acid in the stomach, giving fast and effective relief from discomfort.

Common Uses of Antacid Syrup:

1. Acidity (Hyperacidity):
   Antacid syrup quickly neutralizes extra acid in the stomach, relieving symptoms like burning, discomfort, and sour taste.

2. Heartburn (Chest Burning):

3. Indigestion (Dyspepsia):
   Helps relieve discomfort and heaviness after eating, especially due to poor digestion.

4. Gas and Bloating:
   Many antacid syrups contain simethicone, which breaks up gas bubbles and reduces bloating and abdominal discomfort.

5. Gastritis or Stomach Irritation:
   In some cases, it is used as part of treatment for stomach lining inflammation, under medical supervision.
