What is mylanta used for?

Mylanta is an over-the-counter medication primarily used to relieve symptoms of heartburn, acid indigestion, and upset stomach. It contains antacids, such as aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide, which neutralize stomach acid. Mylanta may also help alleviate gas and bloating due to its simethicone content. It is often taken as needed for quick relief of gastrointestinal discomfort.
