How Rolaids Extra Strength Works
Active Ingredients and Function
Rolaids Extra Strength tablets contain calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide, which act as antacids. Calcium carbonate neutralizes stomach acid, while magnesium hydroxide also helps to relieve occasional constipation. Together, these ingredients provide comprehensive relief from the symptoms of excess stomach acid.
Mechanism of Action
Once chewed and swallowed, the active ingredients in Rolaids begin to neutralize the excess acid in the stomach. This action helps to quickly alleviate heartburn, sour stomach, and indigestion by raising the pH level of the stomach contents.
