It isn't.



If you have acid reflux or indigestion you can have irritation in the esophagus from the stomach acid. Indigestion or heart burn pills will neutralize the acid and limit the amount of irritation.

I assume that you are talking about antacids. The reason you need to take them because eventually you will develop an ulcer and face hospitalization and maybe even surgery. The over production of acid will eat away your stomach lining.
