Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is Major Antacid the same as Rugby Antacid?
Yes. Both Major and Rugby versions of this product utilize the exact same active and inactive ingredient profile, offering the same relief and flavor experience.
How many mg of elemental calcium are in each 500 mg tablet?
While the tablet contains 500 mg of Calcium Carbonate (the salt), it provides 200 mg of actual "elemental" calcium that your body can use.
Can I take these tablets with my daily vitamins?
Because calcium can interfere with the absorption of certain minerals and medications, it is generally recommended to space your antacid dose at least two hours apart from other supplements or prescriptions.
