"I had acute severe epigastric pain, and Maalox worked within minutes. I was given this mixed with lidocaine in the ER due to undiagnosed severe stomach pain. While my tongue felt weird, my pain went away in minutes. Please note that this is generally not over the counter or a prescription, my PCP wasn't able to prescribe it."

"I am a med aide at a state-run psychiatric hospital, and I work with about 80 regular patients. Several of the patients over age 35 regularly complain of gas pain, GERD, indigestion, or heartburn. Almost all of them ask for Maalox or Mylanta when having these symptoms, and all who ask for it report complete relief at the follow-up about an hour later. Most of them report relief within 15-20 minutes. It's because of my patients' approval of Maalox that I decided to try it for myself. I have been diagnosed with GERD, and I regularly experience indigestion, painful heartburn, and bloating from gas. I have to say, after the first unpleasantly chalky cherry-flavored dose, I experienced total relief in about 20 minutes, and the relief lasted for hours. At present, I'm about halfway done with my first bottle, but I have already decided this will forever be a staple of my medicine cabinet."

"I always use Gelusil when I suffer from acidity or indigestion. It has given me quick relief. I like the texture of the chewable tablet that helps even to get the gas out."

"Been using Mylanta since Maalox factory shutdown. It works as well as Maalox, as it contains the same ingredients and potency. Several family members also use it. Mild taste. It really does work well and would recommend to anyone needing such a product."
