Rolaids extra strength antacid/calcium supplement – freshmint contain 675 mg of calcium carbonate and 135 mg magnesiumn hydroxide. Rolaids are made to relieve heartburn and acid indigestion. I like Rolaids extra strength tablets. They work faster than the other brands. While they may not be as effective for as long as say Tagamet they do start to work faster for me. I also do not have to spend money for box after box of tagamet or pepcid. I take them only when needed so a bottle is going to last me for months. They seem to work even faster than Tums and I can take them as needed. I like the freshmint flavor. They also do something some that is beneficial to a persons health that other brands like Pepcid may not do and that is they supply you with calcium which is important for bones.

Good info here. Heart burn is my second name! WW-V:)
I love the fact that Rolaids is not just an antacid but that it provides one with calcium. Having become a little older, I find that I cannot eat spaghetti sauce and onions like I used to be able to do. Rolaids have come in hand many a time for me. You provided excellent supporting details about the product. Great job!
I don't much care for the mint flavor but I do like the fruit flavored and I have also found that they work fast. They also leave no funny, metallic aftertaste like some tablet anti-acids can.
If this pregnancy is anything like my last one, I'll be needing some antacid soon. I used Tums last time, but I think I'll give these a try.
My mother lived on these, I think! I use mostly Tums these days, still get the calcium but I like their wintergreen taste. I find it completely unfair that I take prescription Nexium and STILL need antacids!
