Which type of medicine is taken to reduce acidity during indigestion?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Antacid

Indigestion accompanied by heartburn can result from excess hydrochloric acid in the stomach. An antacid contains a mild base or another acid-neutralising substance, so it reacts with and reduces excess acid. Hence option B is correct. An antibiotic acts against certain bacteria, a vitamin supplies nutrients, and a disinfectant is used on non-living surfaces; none of these directly neutralises stomach acid for this purpose.
