Between sodium hydrogen carbonate and magnesium hydroxide which is a better antacid and why ?

Answer»

Magnesium hydroxide is a better antacid because being insoluble, it does not allow, the pH to increase above neutral. However, sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3) being soluble, its excess can make the stomach alkaline and trigger the production of even more acid.
