A scoring system based on the neutralising capacity, cost efficiency and time of buffering of twenty four commercially available antacid gels was analysed. A gel scoring eight out of the ten points was considered as the best antacid. The study provides a practical guide in choosing a quick neutralizing and low cost antacid gel.
