Abstract: This study aimed to analyse the effectiveness of different commercial medicines when reducing stomach acidity. The primary goal of the procedure was to compare the efficiency of different anti acidity brands when it comes to neutralising HCl, and to spot any significant differences. An experiment was conducted using an HCl solution of molarity replicating stomach conditions, and a standardised solution of NaOH. Four different samples were tested. Powdered samples were added to separate acidic solutions, and were actively monitored through titration. Data was expressed in table and graph form. The experiment revealed varying degrees of effectiveness amongst the Anti acidity samples. Rabesil demonstrated the highest neutralising capacity. Gelusil and Opera showed moderate performance, while Esomesil was the least effective. Data plotting confirmed these differences between the brands. The study concluded that medicinal effectiveness varies significantly among different brands. Unusual results of PPIs Rabesil, Esomesil and Opera show that a more detailed analysis can be performed. The results highlight the importance of evaluating antacid products and PPIs based on their inhibition capacity rather than branding alone. This contributes well to the amount of relief customers can expect when trying such medicines.
