I've been taking Calcium Carb 1250mg/5ml Susp for the past few months to manage my heartburn and as a calcium supplement. It's been a game-changer for my digestive issues, but I've also had some concerns about the side effects. I've experienced mild constipation, which I've heard is common, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had more serious side effects like allergic reactions. I want to know what to expect if I continue taking this as part of my long-term health plan, so any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

I had no side effects at all. It just works like a charm and is handy to take with you because it doesn’t have to be kept refrigerated. I’ve been using it for a few years now for heartburn and no problems.

I wish there was a way to take it without the constipation. I’ve tried everything from prune juice to stool softeners, but nothing seems to work!

I’m really surprised by how many people are having allergic reactions. I thought that was super rare! I’m glad I’m not one of them! If the thought of a reaction like that scares you just avoid the medication. There are so many options for antacids.

I’ve been taking it for a calcium supplement too. I feel better knowing it helps with bone health as well as heartburn. Just make sure to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated. I take it with a full glass.

I've been on this for a while too, and I can absolutely confirm the constipation. But overall, it's been really helpful for my indigestion.

Has anyone else noticed a strange taste in their mouth after taking it? It's not unbearable, but it's definitely there.
