MedDataToolTums Antacid Chewy Bites is a medication that helps relieve heartburn, acid indigestion, and upset stomach. It works by neutralizing stomach acid, which can help reduce discomfort. For adults and children aged 12 and older, you can chew 2 to 4 tablets when you have symptoms, but do not take more than 6 tablets in a 24-hour period. It's important not to use the maximum dosage for more than 2 weeks unless your doctor advises you to do so. If you are taking prescription medications, especially certain drugs, it's a good idea to check with your doctor or pharmacist before using it, as antacids can interact with some medications.
