The class of drugs that neutralize the acid in the stomach are known as antacids. It is used to treat conditions like heartburn, indigestion, acidity and an upset stomach. These drugs are available over the counter and are usually consumed by mouth. They are available in tablets, capsules, liquid and powder form. There are different types of antacid available like aluminium hydroxide, magnesium carbonate, magnesium trisilicate, magnesium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, and sodium bicarbonate. The global antacid market growth is mainly attributed to factors such as increasing prevalence of GERD, and rising prevalence of obesity. However, low awareness associated with gastrointestinal disorders in low-income economies is restricting the Antacid market growth.
