Cvs Health Maximum Strength is a medication that helps relieve symptoms like acid indigestion, heartburn, sour stomach, and bloating, which can be uncomfortable. It works by neutralizing stomach acid to provide relief. For adults and children aged 12 and older, you can chew 1 to 2 tablets when you have symptoms, but don’t take more than 8 tablets in a 24-hour period or use it for more than 2 weeks without a doctor's advice. A key warning is to stop using it and consult a doctor if your symptoms last longer than 2 weeks. If you have kidney stones or are on a calcium-restricted diet, it's important to talk to your doctor before using this medication.
