Study this Antacids NCLEX mnemonic and other mnemonics with Pixorize.

Antacids are a class of drugs that include calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, and sodium bicarbonate. These drugs work by neutralizing stomach acid, which is useful for treating GI ulcers, as well as gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD. The side effects of antacids depend on the specific drug taken: Aluminum hydroxide and calcium carbonate cause constipation, while magnesium hydroxide causes diarrhea. Sodium bicarbonate can increase sodium levels to cause fluid retention.
