It works by neutralizing stomach acid to provide relief from these uncomfortable symptoms. Adults and children aged 12 and older should take 2 to 4 teaspoons four times a day, but it's important not to take more than 16 teaspoons in a 24-hour period or use the maximum dose for more than two weeks. If you have kidney disease or are on a magnesium-restricted or sodium-restricted diet, you should consult a doctor before using it.
