What happens if you take too many antiacid tablets?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Here are side effect: From taking too many antacids. The least important side effects are constipation or diarrhea. Large amounts of calcium carbonate-containing antacids can affect the balances of calcium and acid in the body and damage the kidneys. Calcium-containing antacids also can stimulate acid secretion even though initially they neutralize acid.Occasional use and regular use usually safe.
