उत्तर
Magnesium hydroxide
Explanation:
Indigestion occurs when the stomach produces an excess of hydrochloric acid, leading to irritation and a burning sensation. Magnesium hydroxide is a mild, non-corrosive base commonly referred to as milk of magnesia. It acts as an antacid, meaning it safely neutralises the excess stomach acid to form harmless salt and water, providing immediate relief from pain.
