Uses This medicine is used to treat the symptoms of excess stomach acid such as upset stomach, heartburn, and acid indigestion. It is also used to treat symptoms of excess gas, including bloating, burp, and discomfort or pressure in the stomach and intestines. In the colon, simethicone aids in dissolving gas bubbles. Antacids made of magnesium and aluminum lower stomach acid rapidly. Generally speaking, liquid antacids function more quickly or effectively than tablets or capsules.
