Can antacids reduce vomiting

Antacids primarily work by neutralizing stomach acid and alleviating symptoms of heartburn and indigestion, but they are not specifically designed to prevent or reduce vomiting. While they may help if vomiting is related to acid irritation or gastroesophageal reflux, they do not address the underlying causes of nausea or vomiting, which can be due to various factors such as infections, motion sickness, or medication side effects. For effective management of vomiting, other medications or treatments may be more appropriate.
