Acid Gone Usage: this is an antacid that works in the stomach to neutralize and reduce acid.

How to use Acid Gone: Take this med as prescribed. Taking too much an antacid can reverse the effects & more acid will be secreted. in certain conditions, however, this may be necessary to take antacid as frequently as every 1 to 2 hours. To be effective, chewable pills must be chewed thoroughly before swallowing followed by a full glass of water. Shake liquid forms well before pouring each dose. do not take any another med within 1 to two hours of taking an antacid. since antacids coat the stomach, they can prevent other drugs from being absorbed properly if taken at the same clock.
