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.
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.
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.
- Pack Size: 32 Chewable Tablets.
- Strength: Extra Strength (750mg).
