Most antiacids have calcium carbonate in them. This is an alkaline buffer which neutralizes stomach acid to help with acid disorders (dyspepsia and esophageal reflux). Many drugs require stomach acid for absorption and this is a possible mechanism of interference. In most cases however, calcium carbonate forms complexs with drugs preventing or significantly delaying their absorption. Sometimes even the calcium from milk can interfere (tetracycline antibiotics for example)
