Calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate are used together as antacids to relieve symptoms of heartburn, indigestion, and acid reflux. This combination neutralizes stomach acid and provides quick relief.
Calcium and magnesium are essential minerals that also contribute to bone and muscle health. Additionally, magnesium helps prevent constipation, a common side effect of calcium supplements.
The medication is available as chewable tablets and should be used as directed. It is important not to exceed the recommended dose, as excess intake may lead to electrolyte imbalances.
Side effects may include bloating, diarrhea, or constipation, depending on individual sensitivity. In rare cases, excessive use may cause hypercalcemia or hypermagnesemia.
