Tums Antacid Tablets

Tums is a well-known brand of antacid tablets used to provide fast relief from heartburn and acid indigestion. Originally created in 1928 by Jim Howe, a pharmacist in St. Louis, Missouri, the product was first marketed by the Lewis-Howe Company. Over the decades, Tums became a staple in the over-the-counter digestive health market due to its calcium carbonate base.

Manufacturing for the North American market, including Mexico, is primarily centered at the long-standing facility in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, although global distribution networks may involve other regional sites. Today, the brand is owned by Haleon, a major consumer healthcare company that was formed following a demerger from GSK (GlaxoSmithKline). In Mexico, the product is typically distributed through Haleon's local consumer healthcare subsidiaries, maintaining its position as one of the most recognized gastric health brands in the region.
