Nope, it is best to chew em up and swallow em as is. If you drink water you will dilute them and get less of an antacid result. If you are taking them for the calcium it is actually better to take them will a meal though.
Both Tums and Rolaids are effective antacids that neutralize stomach acid. Tums contains calcium carbonate as the active ingredient, while Rolaids contains calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide. The choice between the two may depend on personal preference and any specific dietary considerations.
Tums is an antacid, basic.
Tums contain calcium carbonate, which can sometimes leave a chalky or bitter taste in your mouth after consuming them. This taste may linger due to the reaction of the antacid with the saliva in your mouth. Rinsing your mouth with water after taking Tums can help alleviate the taste.
It depends on the reason for taking these medications. If you have a stomach ache due to gas it is better to take only the Alka Seltzer since it includes aspirin for pain and a basic substance for raising the pH (reducing acidity) of your stomach. If you have acid reflux or an ulcer then you want to take just the Tums as it only contains Calcium Carbonate, which will raise the pH of your stomach and alleviate the acid burn. A better alternative to Tums for ulcer or acid reflux is a drug like Omeprazole (Prilosec OTC) or Famotidine. Taking Alka Seltzer for ulcer pain will exacerbate the condition due to the included Aspirin.
The chemical formula for Tums is CaCO3 (mineral calcite).
Yes, dropping a Tums in water is considered a chemical change because the active ingredient in Tums, calcium carbonate, reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide and carbon dioxide. This chemical reaction alters the composition of the Tums tablet and the water.
Yes, Tums, which is a brand of antacid that contains calcium carbonate, can dissolve in water. When Tums is placed in water, it breaks down into its individual ions which can help neutralize stomach acid.
neither: peptibsmal
No. tums are ment for humans. Not really animals. But u could use a medicine ment for guinea pigs.
Pepto Bismol is by far better. Some doctors call it a miracle medicine because it can cure so many symptoms.
