Tums Dual-Action Directions

Tums Dual Action combines the antacids calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide with the acid reducer famotidine to relieve symptoms of indigestion, such as heartburn, acid reflux and sour stomach. Antacids work by neutralizing excess stomach acid, while acid reducers decrease the amount of acid produced in the stomach. Over-the-counter antacids and acid reducers are indicated for short-term treatment of indigestion symptoms. Consult your doctor if you experience frequent heartburn or indigestion symptoms that last for two weeks or longer.
