Answer:
The acidity results because of the
release of extra gastric acids which tend to decrease the pH level. This may
lead to the formation of ulcers in the stomach in most of the patients. The
role of the antacids is to neutralise the acidicity and raise the pH level.
They may also act as buffers i.e., they may not allow the pH level to fall when
extra acids are released. Liquid preparation of the antacids are normally more
effective than when these are given in the solid form.
