Cvs Health Extra Strength Heartburn Relief Antacid is a chewable tablet that helps relieve symptoms like acid indigestion, heartburn, and upset stomach. It works by neutralizing stomach acid to provide quick relief. You should chew 2 to 4 tablets four times a day, especially after meals and at bedtime, but do not swallow them whole and make sure to follow with a half glass of water or another liquid. It's important not to take more than 16 tablets in a day and to avoid using the maximum dose for more than two weeks.
