2. Which type of antacid would you recommend for me?
   
   
3. How often can I take antacids?
   
   
4. How soon can I expect relief from my symptoms?
   
   
5. Is it possible for me to take too many antacids?
   
   
6. Will antacids interact with any prescription medications I am taking?
   
   
7. Are there any over-the-counter medications or supplements I should avoid when taking antacids?
   
   
8. Should I choose an antacid with calcium? Is it possible for me to get too much calcium?
   
   
9. Are there any potential side effects of antacids that I should immediately report to a physician?
   
   
10. I’m pregnant. Is it OK for me to take antacids?
