A member asked:

Is it bad to take tums (calcium carbonate) every day?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Taking in too much Tums (calcium carbonate) can greatly increase your serum calcium levels which can be dangerous. Make sure you discuss with your doctor some other options of acid suppression if that is the case.
