What is Calcium Carbonate?

Wilko Orange Flavoured Antacid with calcium carbonate provides fast relief from heartburn and indigestion. This orange-flavoured antacid is designed for oral use and offers a convenient way to manage occasional acid-related discomfort. Ideal for on-the-go relief.

What is Calcium Carbonate used for?

Calcium carbonate antacids like this product neutralise excess stomach acid to relieve symptoms of heartburn and indigestion. They are commonly used for occasional acid-related discomfort after meals or when symptoms arise. People often reach for antacids when experiencing mild acid reflux or sour stomach.

What are the side effects of Calcium Carbonate?

This antacid works by quickly neutralising stomach acid, which can reduce the burning sensation associated with heartburn. The orange flavour makes it more palatable for those who prefer a flavoured option. Effects are typically felt within minutes of taking the product.

What precautions apply to Calcium Carbonate?

Do not exceed the recommended dose. If symptoms persist for more than a few days or worsen, consult a healthcare professional. Avoid use if you have high calcium levels or kidney problems without medical advice. Keep out of reach of children.

What does Calcium Carbonate interact with?

Calcium carbonate may interact with certain medications, including some antibiotics and thyroid drugs. Separate doses by at least 2 hours to reduce interaction risks. Alcohol and high-fat meals may reduce effectiveness. Always inform your healthcare provider about all medicines you take.
