Hidden Risks of Daily Antacid Use

Nov 5, 2025

Do you rely on antacids every day? While they offer quick relief from acidity, ulcers, or short-term stomach discomfort, long-term use can silently harm your digestive health. Dr Vikas Singla, Senior Director & Head – Gastroenterology at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket, explains how overuse of antacids can decrease essential stomach acid, leading to poor digestion and impaired absorption of vital minerals like calcium, iron, and magnesium. This raises the risk of infections, diarrhoea, and even osteoporosis. Always consult your gastroenterologist to manage acidity safely and effectively.
