Antacids are over-the-counter (OTC) drugs that reduce
indigestion and heartburn by neutralising stomach acid. They are usually
available in chewable pills, powder, and liquid formats and contain components
such as sodium bicarbonate, aluminium, magnesium hydroxide, and calcium.
Antacids are commonly used to treat heartburn, dyspepsia, stomach ulcers,
inflammation, acid reflux, and stomach distress. Acid neutralizers, promoters,
and proton pump inhibitors are all common medications that reduce stomach acid
production. They help to protect the stomach lining from strong acids secreted
by the duodenum, oesophagus, and the duodenum. They are self-administered drugs
that work by neutralising stomach acid and blocking pepsin.
Antacids Market Trends:
One of the primary factors driving the market's growth is
the rising prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Antacids are
frequently used since they are inexpensive and help to relieve the
inflammation, swelling, pain, and irritation caused by heartburn. Changing
lifestyles, such as irregular dietary habits, sleep patterns, and sedentary
lives, are positively impacting market growth in line with this. Furthermore,
significant product advancements, including as the introduction of safe
raft-forming antacids and strong drugs with greater potency and duration of
action, are propelling the industry forward. Furthermore, the market is
benefiting from the widespread usage of chewable tables in various flavours
that are easy to store, deliver the precise amount of dosage, and enhance
patient adherence. Other reasons, like as the growing senior population, which
is prone to acidic issues, the simple availability of products through
e-commerce platforms, and the increased prevalence of heartburn among the
general public, are all contributing to the market's optimistic outlook.
