Antacids are a group of substances which neutralizes stomach gastric acid, so are commonly used to relieve heartburn and gastroesophagus reflux disease (GERD). In general, hydroxyl ion (in the form of Mg(OH)2 and Al(OH)3; carbonate/bicarbonate ion (in the form of CaCO3/Ca(HCO3)2); and silicate ion (in the form of Mg2Si3O8) are commonly used either in a single substance or their mixtures to control hydrogen ions (H+) generated in the stomach.
