What can be used instead of maalox?

Instead of Maalox, you can use other over-the-counter antacids such as Tums, Rolaids, or Gaviscon to relieve heartburn and indigestion. Additionally, medications like famotidine (Pepcid) or ranitidine (Zantac) can help reduce stomach acid production. Natural alternatives include baking soda diluted in water or herbal teas like ginger or chamomile. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any new medication or remedy.
