Tums are called antacids because they help to neutralize excess stomach acid. The ingredients in Tums, such as calcium carbonate, work by raising the pH level in the stomach, which helps to alleviate symptoms of heartburn and indigestion.
Tums is an antacid, basic.
The chemical formula for Tums is CaCO3 (mineral calcite).
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 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.
