One tablet goes to work in seconds to relieve heartburn all day or all night

PITTSBURGH, April 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Approximately 60 million Americans experience heartburn at least once a month. For those sufferers whose occasional heartburn gets in the way of life, TUMS(R), the best selling antacid in America, is introducing a new, long-lasting treatment. TUMS Dual Action, just like all TUMS, goes to work in seconds but also lasts for hours -- all day or all night -- offering heartburn sufferers long-lasting relief without compromise.

TUMS Dual Action contains calcium carbonate, the same trusted ingredient as the regular TUMS that Americans have depended upon for the past 75 years. TUMS Dual Action also includes an additional antacid ingredient, magnesium hydroxide, and 10 mg of famotidine, a safe and effective acid reducer, to help keep heartburn from coming back, making it the longest lasting TUMS ever. Available in Berry or Mint flavor, the one-dose chewable tablet immediately neutralizes acid on contact. Like all TUMS, it is also an excellent source of calcium, with 320 mg of elemental calcium per tablet.

"TUMS Dual Action is a natural extension for the iconic TUMS brand, offering a proven solution for occasional heartburn sufferers looking for long-lasting relief from a trusted source," says Jack Levy, TUMS Brand Manager at GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare. "With it, heartburn sufferers won't need to think about whether or not lunchtime heartburn will interrupt dinner, or whether they'll be able to sleep without being bothered by heartburn."
