These medicines are called antisecretory because they work by blocking the acid secretion of the stomach.
This is the case of the H2 antihistamine (such as Cimetidine) which has a rapid action (approximately 1 hour) but longer than an antacid.
When symptoms are frequent, occurring more than once a week, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) (such as Omeprazole), antisecretory agents of potent and prolonged action (at least 24 hours), constitute the treatment of choice.
A medication that increases the pH of the stomach and makes it alkaline is actually helping in neutralizing the acid forming in the stomach.
When there is excess of acid into the stomach then intake of a base helps in balancing the excess of acid by providing suitable amount of hydroxide ions.
Thus, we can conclude that this medication will have a neutralizing effect.
because an independent variable is something you change. So in a scientific experiment you only change one thing. If you happen to change more than one thing then the test becomes unfair therefore you should repeat and make sure that only one thing is changed this time.
The burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases these carbon emissions raise global temperatures by trapping solar energy in the atmosphere.
