Short Answer

Solution
Antacids are alkaline compounds that provide fast relief from heartburn and indigestion by directly neutralising the hydrochloric acid in your stomach. They raise your stomach’s pH, transforming the harsh, acidic digestive juices into harmless salt and water, and also prevent the acid from irritating the oesophagus.
