Reviews
| Add Mylanta review It helped control stomach ache and nausea. I take it along with other drugs to ward off GERD. I am worried about interaction with one or more of those other drugs. | Add Tums review I took this medication because of indigestion. The only concern was that the content of the calcium was carbonate. I do not want to suffer of kidney stone. A quick, simple solution to heartburn that also serves as a calcium suppliment. Also, this drug has very few side effects. | |||
