Fill in the blank(s) with correct word
Antacids. Antacids neutralize (reduce) the acidity of the gastric juices, but they do not affect the rate or amount of gastric acid secretion by the stomach cells and do not prevent ulcer recurrence. Rather, antacids are usually used to relieve occasional duodenal ulcer symptoms on as-need basis by the patient and are not the primary or sole drug of choice for treatment. Antacids vary in potency, systemic absorption, and adverse side effects.
