Pepcid AC helps with heartburn if you take it 15-60 minutes before eating a meal. The antacid can take 15-30 minutes for it to start working. Some people don't like how it long it takes. While taking pepcid AC you can view some symptoms of itching, chest pains, chills, fever, red eyes, and more. Don’t take this without talking to your doctor
It is known that different substances dissolve at different rates. The process of a substance dissolving is referred to as dissolution and is a chemical reaction between the solute and the solvent. A chemical reaction is a process in which one or more substances are converted into one or more substances that differ from the initial substance (Silberberg 2010). The initial substance is referred to as the reactant while the changed substance is referred to as the product. In other words, the reactants
Another major factor that the patient did was self-prescribe antacids for the stomach issues (Grand Canyon University, 2015). Metabolic alkalosis occurs from excessive intake of antacids. Antacids are calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide and sodium bicarbonate (Human Touch of Chemistry, 2015). With the vomiting and loss of gastric secretions, HCO3 began to build-up in the body
The objective of this experiment was to discover how the concentration of hydrochloric acid affected the rate of reaction in a reaction with calcium carbonate. It was deduced through the experiment that an increase of concentration principally results in a greater rate of reaction. This can be justified through each data point increasing from the previous value, aside from the anomaly when the concentration was at 2 M. The correlation between the two variables was positive. The correlation was not
These conditions had to remain constant in order to produce a fair and accurate trial. The materials used in this experiment were three one hundred fifty milliliter beakers, three antacid tablets, room temperature water, graduated cylinder, mortar and pestle, paper, timer, stir rod, and pencil. Three one hundred fifty milliliters beakers labeled A, B, and C were filled with twenty five milliliters of water. Two of the three tablet’s
question of this experiment was: Which class of pills dissolve the fastest? For the purpose of this experiment, three classes of pills were used: antacids, anti-inflammatory pills and allergy pills, due to convenience in obtaining them and how commonly they are used in the world today. Two brands of pills from each class were used: Tums and Rolaids as the antacids, Advil and Tylenol as the anti-inflammatory pills, and Exact and Claritin as the allergy medication. These brands were quite popular and reasonably

22-year-old female brought to local hospital with complaint of flu- like symptoms for the past eight days. She is vomited several times daily, having difficulty keeping liquids or food down, and has been self-medicated more than the recommended dose of antacids in an attempt to calm the nausea. She has become severely dehydrated and had fainted at home; causing in her taken to a hospital. Upon arrival to the hospital, an arterial blood gas (ABG) sample was drawn and then an IV was placed to help rehydrate
point? Why are acid inhibitors and antacids administered? I think that an appropriate diagnosis at this time for Cleveland would be a gastric ulcer. The acid inhibitors and antacids were administered to help regulate acid production and to help heal the lining of the stomach. What disorders might account for these symptoms? The new symptoms that Cleveland is now experiencing may indicate he is having a heart attack. Why are nitroglycerin and antacids administered? What does their ineffectiveness
H2 receptors can help decrease the production of acid for up to 12 hours and can provide a longer time of relief, although they don’t work as quickly as antacids do. (Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 2014, para. 2). Proton pump inhibitors both block the production of acid as well as help heal the esophagus. Prevacid 24 hr, Prilosec, and Zegrid are over the counter proton pump inhibitors
