How does an antacid work?
उत्तर
Our stomach produces dilute hydrochloric acid, which helps in the digestion of food. Sometimes, excess acid is produced in the stomach, overeating being one of the causes. This results in indigestion along with pain. For relief, antacids, which are weak bases and neutralise the excess acid, are taken.
