Product Details

About this item

Tums Antacid Chewable Tablets are a leading choice for the rapid neutralization of excess gastric acid. Whether triggered by spicy foods, stress, or late-night meals, Tums provides a reliable, over-the-counter (OTC) solution for the burning sensation of heartburn and the discomfort of acid indigestion. As a trusted calcium-based antacid, it acts locally in the stomach to provide relief without the long wait associated with systemic medications.



How to Use

Dosage

  • Adults and Children 12+: Chew 2 to 4 tablets thoroughly as symptoms occur.
  • Maximum Daily Dose: Do not exceed 10 tablets in 24 hours. If pregnant, do not exceed 6 tablets in 24 hours.
  • Administration: Tablets must be chewed completely before swallowing; do not swallow whole.
  • Food/Drink: Can be taken with or without food.

Storage and Disposal

Store at room temperature (20-25°C). Keep the container tightly closed to protect from moisture. Dispose of expired tablets by mixing with coffee grounds or kitty litter in a sealed bag before placing in the trash to prevent accidental ingestion by pets or children.

Quick Tips

  • Chew Thoroughly: The more you grind the tablet with your teeth, the faster it can neutralize acid.
  • Water Intake: Drink a small glass of water after chewing to help wash the ingredients into the stomach.
  • Trigger Management: Keep a food diary to identify which meals trigger your heartburn.
  • Nighttime Relief: If heartburn hits at night, try sleeping on your left side or elevating your head.
  • Avoid Overuse: Do not use Tums as a daily "preventative" unless specifically told to do so by a doctor.


Pharmacist's Advice

Contraindications

Do not take Tums Antacid Chewable Tablets if you:

  • Have hypercalcemia (high calcium levels in the blood).
  • Suffer from severe kidney disease or kidney stones.
  • Have a known allergy to calcium carbonate or any inactive ingredients (like specific food dyes).
  • Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Generally considered the #1 OB/GYN recommended brand, but consult your doctor for appropriate dosage limits during pregnancy.

Side Effects

  • Common: Constipation, gas, or belching.
  • Serious but Rare: "Milk-alkali syndrome" (if taken in massive quantities over long periods). Seek medical attention if you experience extreme nausea, headache, or confusion.

Precautions and Warnings

  • Drug Interactions: Antacids can interfere with the absorption of other drugs (e.g., tetracycline antibiotics or iron supplements). Take Tums at least 2 hours apart from other medications.
  • Duration: Do not use the maximum dosage for more than 2 weeks unless directed by a doctor.
  • Medical Consultation: If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a physician to rule out more serious conditions like GERD or ulcers.
