Rolaids is a brand name for an antacid medication used to relieve various symptoms such as heartburn, indigestion, and upset stomach. However, there are several other synonyms for Rolaids, including Tums, Alka-Seltzer, Pepto-Bismol, and Maalox. These antacids work by neutralizing stomach acid to relieve discomfort and pain. They come in various forms such as tablets, chewable tablets, liquids, and effervescent tablets. Each antacid may have a different active ingredient and dosage, so it is important to read the label and follow the instructions carefully. Regardless of the brand or style chosen, all antacids are effective in relieving the symptoms caused by too much stomach acid.
