I am a male and I was taking Tums 3 maybe 4 a day. I was taking them for a week and a half and I was out for a walk with a family member and I passed out. I came to a little time later but I went to the hospital because I didn't know what had happened and the Doctors determined I had symptoms of SYCOPE.

The roll I got was awful. Hard as rocks. Even sucking on like hard candy wouldn't dissolve them. Couldn't break in half. Will never buy again let alone recommend.

The doctors got my license revolked. I never thought to tell them I was taking Tums at the time. I didn't think it was important but with all my tests that I had to go through and losing my license, all just because of calcium overload.
For that reason I won't take your product anymore. I think maybe you should redose your daily maximum usage.Read More Read Less

I like Tums. They work well for me. It's unfortunate I can't open the bottle when Mark isn't home. I am a 75 year old female, in good health, no arthritis to speak of. I can't get that darn cap off! Child proof caps are a problem for elderly folks. I am an artist and use my hands constantly, so it isn't an old hands thing, and my hands aren't particularly weak. I bet you lose a lot of older females who can't open the bottle either. AND, I bet when you test that sort of thing, you don't test it on elderly women! I need a product I can get out of the bottle when I need one!

I took this medication because of indigestion. The only concern was that the content of the calcium was carbonate. I do not want to suffer of kidney stone.

I frequently take tums for nausea. I also take nexium 40 mgs bid. I continue to have frequent nausea while taking these pills. I had endoscopy done, no ulcer. I suffer all day long.

A quick, simple solution to heartburn that also serves as a calcium suppliment. Also, this drug has very few side effects.
