Tums Tablets (Calcium Carbonate) – Side Effects, Uses, Mechanism of Action, Dosage, Warnings

Tums Tablets (Calcium Carbonate) – Side Effects, Uses, Mechanism of Action, Dosage, Warnings Calcium carbonate, commonly marketed under the brand names Tums, Alka-Seltzer, and Rolaids, is an over-the-counter medication primarily used to relieve heartburn, acid indigestion, and upset stomach, and also serves as a calcium supplement to prevent or treat osteoporosis. The mechanism of action involves neutralizing stomach acid by reacting with hydrochloric acid to form calcium chloride, water, and carbon dioxide, thereby alleviating symptoms. Common side effects include constipation, gas, and bloating, while more serious side effects can include kidney stones, hypercalcemia, and milk-alkali syndrome. The typical dosage for heartburn is 2 to 4 tablets as needed, not exceeding 7,500 mg per day, and 1 to 2 tablets daily as a calcium supplement, with a maximum total calcium intake of 2,500 mg per day. Tums can interact with medications like thiazide diuretics, certain antibiotics, levothyroxine, and bisphosphonates, requiring careful timing of doses. Individuals with kidney disease or hypercalcemia, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and those with allergies to calcium carbonate should consult a healthcare provider before use to avoid complications such as milk-alkali syndrome. #tums #tumstablets #tumsuses #tumssideeffects #calciumcarbonate #Alka-Seltzer #Rolaids #calciumcarbonateuses #calciumcarbonatesideeffects #antacids Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @learnmedicineasap   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe for more medical and health content:    / @learnmedicineasap   Check out our other helpful playlists Obstetrics and Gynecology    • Obstetrics and Gynecology   General Surgery Lessons    • General Surgery Lessons   Internal Medicine    • Internal Medicine   Child Health and Pediatrics    • Child Health and Pediatrics   Pharmacology Lecture Videos    • Pharmacology Lecture Videos   Anaesthesiology | Anesthesiology    • Anaesthesiology | Anesthesiology   Medical Parasitology    • Medical Parasitology   Infectious Diseases    • Infectious Diseases   Pathology    • Pathology   Microbiology    • Microbiology   Anatomy    • Anatomy   Ear Nose and Throat - ENT    • Ear Nose and Throat - ENT   Oral Health | Oral Hygiene | Dental Health    • Oral Health | Oral Hygiene | Dental Health   Ophthalmology | Eye Infections | Eye Diseases    • Ophthalmology | Eye Infections | Eye Diseases   Oncology    • Oncology   Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) | Sexual Wellness & Health - Sexual Infection | STI    • Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) | Sexua...   Women's Health    • Women's Health   Men's Health    • Men's Health   Vitamins, Minerals and their Deficiencies | Vitamin Deficiencies | Mineral Deficiencies    • Vitamins, Minerals and their Deficiencies ...   Clinical Skills | Clinical Techniques    • Clinical Skills | Clinical Techniques   Pharmacology Mnemonics    • Pharmacology Mnemonics   Internal Medicine Mnemonics    • Internal Medicine Mnemonics
