Maalox Stomach Pain Suspension is used for:
Antacids are used to relieve the symptoms of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD also called acid reflux), heartburn or indigestion (also called dyspepsia).

Some antacids are also used for completely unrelated medical conditions, for example:
Aluminum antacids: lower elevated blood phosphate levels and prevent the formation of kidney stones
Calcium carbonate antacids: treat calcium deficiency
Magnesium oxide antacids: treat magnesium deficiency.
