    Aspirin can frequently cause gastric irritation, paracetamol (UK) acetominophen (US) rarely. Normally advise take with food or milk drink.

    Milk was a treatment for ulcers in the old days. Titralac and a product made by Horlicks also popular on scripts.

    milk can produce an immediate relieve of indigestion, but within 1-2 hours, it worsen the problem. that's what i have noticed, as a long time sufferer of indigestion.

    Worst thing is not having anything in the house when you get indigestion.
    Have resorted to milk, and even that toothpaste with sod.bic in it.
    OK, know all about rebound indigestion etc, but what else is there at 0300!
    Where am I?; In the Pharmacy.
    Who are you?; The new Number 2.
    Who is number 1?; You are number 6.
    What do you want?;..................
