Do Tums have laxative effect

Tums are primarily an antacid used to relieve heartburn and indigestion, not a laxative. However, they contain calcium carbonate, which can cause constipation in some individuals if taken in large amounts. Generally, Tums do not have a laxative effect, but individual responses may vary based on dosage and personal digestive health. If someone experiences unusual bowel changes after taking Tums, they should consult a healthcare professional.
