Option+ Calcium Antacid 750mg is an over-the-counter medication used to relieve occasional heartburn, acid indigestion, and sour stomach. 

Active Ingredient:

• Calcium Carbonate (750mg per tablet). This is the main ingredient that neutralizes stomach acid, providing relief from heartburn and indigestion.

General Information (since exact details are unavailable):

• Relief: Provides fast-acting relief within minutes of ingestion.
• Dosage: Look for dosage instructions on the product label. It typically involves chewing 1-2 tablets as needed, up to a maximum daily dose (which may vary).
• Over-the-Counter: Available without a prescription.

Things to Consider:

• Read the Label Carefully: Always follow the dosage instructions on the label precisely.
• Not for Everyone: Consult a doctor before using Option+ Calcium Antacid if you have certain medical conditions, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are taking other medications.
• Not for Long-Term Use: This medication is intended for occasional relief. Chronic heartburn or indigestion requires medical evaluation.
• Potential Side Effects: Calcium antacids may cause constipation, gas, or burping.
• Calcium Levels: High doses or long-term use can elevate calcium levels in the blood, leading to potential health problems. Consult a doctor if you have concerns.
• Not a Cure: Option+ Calcium Antacid relieves symptoms but doesn't address the underlying cause of your stomach upset.

Alternatives:

• Lifestyle Changes: Eating smaller meals, avoiding trigger foods, and managing stress can help prevent heartburn and indigestion.
• H2 Blockers: These medications reduce stomach acid production and provide longer-lasting relief than antacids. They may require a doctor's prescription depending on the brand.
• Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs): A stronger class of medication that significantly reduces stomach acid production. Require a doctor's prescription.
