- /ænˈtæsɪd/
Rhymes with -æsɪd
noun antacids
- An agent that counteracts or neutralizes acidity, especially in the stomach. Until Tagamet (cimetidine), most major drug companies didn't take tummy troubles terribly seriously. Oh sure, Americans gorped down antacids almost like candy, but most pharmaceutical big wigs probably wrote that off to our penchant for eating junk food on the run.
