Antacid Medications Market Overview
Antacids are used to treat acid reflux that causes heartburn, indigestion, and stomach upset.

for minor symptoms. Antacids include magnesium carbonate, aluminum hydroxide, and
magnesium trisilicate. Some people have reported allergic reactions to antacids. Antacids with
magnesium may cause diarrhea, while those containing calcium and aluminum may cause
constipation. Long-term use may cause kidney stones and may increase the risk of contracting
osteoporosis. Popular antacid brands include Alka seltzer, Gelusil, Milk of Magnesia, Maalox,

Distribution channel of Antacids
Antacids are mainly sold through two distribution channels, namely chemists and non-chemist.
Non-chemists comprise grocers, general stores, and food stores. Abbott’s Digene and Pfizer’s
Gelusil have a doctor heritage. Eno and Pudin Hara have an ayurvedic base and are available
over the counter and are aiding in growth of the antacid medications market. Over-the-counter
availability of antacids have enabled individuals to self-medicate their bouts of acid reflux, which
can increase probability of suffering from stroke in the future. Antacids are available in different
forms such as water dissolving tablet, powder form, and melt-in-mouth granules.
