"I can't take many medications. I've been throwing up daily for months. (I have brain lesions) My throat was burning so badly. I sip ice water and still feel as if I have been hit in the stomach. Not to mention my throat and teeth hurt! I take these when things become very painful. They are great. I like the fruity ones. Be careful how many you eat. I was in pain and I must have eaten 12 in a few hours. Days of constipation. While feeling the need to go. I ate too many. I still prefer these over some other simple indigestion/nausea medications. Drink lots of water. Careful, don't overdo it. It made things worse for a bit."

"I've been taking these every day for months now, mostly because I don't eat much, and it helps a lot! The only downside to it is I have small bowel issues (to my knowledge at least), and these don't help, but the effects are minor."

"It works well and very quickly! One or two tabs taken after a cup of coffee helps to avoid acid indigestion. Works for me; cheap, easy to use, safe. Nothing faster!"

"These Alka-Mints work as well or better than Tums and are easier to break up by chewing, also, I love the spearmint flavor. No one else seems to make spearmint antacids."
