TUMS® / Caltrate® (Calcium Carbonate)

A one-page care plan for patients taking TUMS® / Caltrate® (Calcium Carbonate), covering Prevention & Protection, Expectations & Execution, Nutrition & Next Steps, Consistency, Indications and Lifestyle & Long-Term Success.

In this plan

  1. Prevention & Protection

    • I know why I use it: to add calcium when my diet falls short or to relieve occasional heartburn.
    • I know calcium helps bones, muscles, and nerves. As an antacid, this medicine lowers stomach acid.
    • I check my product's strength and ingredients. Some products also contain vitamin D or other medicines.
    • I report drug allergies, kidney disease, kidney stones, or high blood calcium before use.
