Abstract: In India the prevalence of acidity due to poor eating habit is high in Indian population. Unfortunately, the use of antacids is common which is widely available over the counter (OTC) drug in all pharmaceutical outlets. The primary healing advantage of antacids is the rapid onset of action, which provides immediate ease of gastric discomfort. Most antacids are water-based preparations, and the microbial bioburden of pharmaceuticals has long been a source of concern for pharmaceutical manufacturers around the world among varied pharmaceutical preparations.
