Generally speaking, common anti-acid medications mainly include omeprazole enteric-coated capsules, rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets, cimetidine tablets, compound aluminum hydroxide tablets, and aluminum magnesium carbonate chewable tablets. It is recommended to consult a professional doctor before use. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Omeprazole Enteric-Coated Capsules

Omeprazole enteric-coated capsules are a type of proton pump inhibitor that can suppress gastric acid secretion. They are used to treat symptoms such as gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, and reflux esophagitis.

2. Rabeprazole Sodium Enteric-Coated Tablets

Rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets are also proton pump inhibitors and can be used to treat symptoms such as gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, anastomotic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

3. Cimetidine Tablets

Cimetidine tablets are H2 receptor antagonists that bind to H2 receptors on parietal cells, inhibiting gastric acid secretion. They are used to treat diseases such as gastroesophageal reflux disease and duodenal ulcers caused by excessive gastric acid secretion.

4. Compound Aluminum Hydroxide Tablets

Compound aluminum hydroxide tablets are antacids that can help relieve symptoms such as heartburn and acid regurgitation caused by excessive stomach acid.

5. Aluminum Magnesium Carbonate Chewable Tablets

Aluminum magnesium carbonate chewable tablets are oral medications that can help alleviate symptoms such as indigestion, heartburn, acid reflux, and excessive gastric acid.
