Struggling with heartburn or acid indigestion? Doctronic makes it simple to get Tums (calcium carbonate) prescribed online by a licensed physician, without the wait of an in-person visit.
What Is Tums?
Tums (calcium carbonate) is a prescription-eligible antacid used to manage heartburn, acid indigestion, and sour stomach. It works by neutralizing excess stomach acid through a direct acid-base reaction, raising gastric pH and providing fast symptomatic relief. With the right dose and appropriate monitoring of calcium intake, Tums can be a safe and effective part of your digestive health routine.

Is Online Tums Treatment Right for You?
Tums (calcium carbonate) may be appropriate for adults who experience frequent heartburn, acid indigestion, or sour stomach. A Doctronic physician will review your symptoms, frequency of episodes, and any medications you currently take to determine whether Tums is the right fit for you.
Because calcium carbonate affects gastric acid levels, your doctor will also consider your gastrointestinal history, kidney function, and any history of hypercalcemia or kidney stones before recommending a treatment plan.

Frequently asked questions
Tums is an antacid containing calcium carbonate. It works by chemically neutralizing excess hydrochloric acid in the stomach, which raises gastric pH and quickly relieves the burning sensation associated with heartburn and acid indigestion.
Tums typically begins to neutralize stomach acid within minutes of ingestion, making it one of the fastest-acting options for immediate heartburn relief. The effect is relatively short-lived compared to H2 blockers or proton pump inhibitors.
A regular-strength Tums tablet contains 500 mg of calcium carbonate, which provides 200 mg of elemental calcium. Extra-strength and ultra-strength formulations contain higher amounts. Your physician will recommend an appropriate dose based on your needs and total daily calcium intake.
Tums is generally intended for occasional heartburn relief. If you need it daily, this may indicate an underlying condition such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) that warrants evaluation. Your Doctronic physician can help determine whether a stronger or longer-acting therapy is more appropriate.
Taking excessive amounts of calcium carbonate can lead to hypercalcemia (elevated blood calcium), milk-alkali syndrome, and in some cases kidney stones. It is important to follow recommended dosing and inform your physician of any other calcium supplements or dairy intake.
Yes. Calcium carbonate can reduce the absorption of certain medications, including some antibiotics, thyroid medications, and iron supplements. It should generally be taken at least two hours apart from these drugs. Always share your full medication list with your Doctronic physician.
