What is the best antacid on the market for your money? For the relief of heartburn (stomach aches or acid indigestion), and upset stomach associated with these symptoms, take an antacid tablet. “But which antacid tablet is better for my money?,” you ask. In this lab, Rolaids and Maalox No. 2 were tested to find the better of the two. So the question is, does Rolaids really spell ‘relief’ or does Maalox give the ‘fast acting relief’ that it claims? In this lab, the tablet that burns more acid is the better antacid for your money. Maalox No. 2: Maalox costs $7.69 for a bottle consisting of 90 tablets, which calculates to $0.08 per tablet. The active ingredients in Maalox are: 400 mg per tablet of Magnesium Hydroxide [Mg (OH) 2] and 400 mg per tablet of dried Aluminum Hydroxide gel [Al (OH)3]. The recommended dosage for Maalox is 1 tablet.
