One of the first warning signs you have an inflamed Achilles tendon is pain in your lower calf, near the back of your heel. Itâs a common injury that makes the tendon swell, stretch, or tear. You can get it from overworking the calf muscle or climbing the stairs. It might stick around for a long time, too.
You can also take antacids to stop heartburn that happens from time to time when you are taking an acid reducer medicine (such as Prilosec). Some antacids, such as Rolaids and Tums, contain calcium carbonate. These may help boost calcium intake in women who are concerned about developing osteoporosis.
A: To the best of my knowledge, there is no problem with using unflavored Tums (tm) in dogs for calcium carbonate requirements. One Tums tablet contains 0.5gm of calcium carbonate. It is also possible to find calcium carbonate as the calcium ingredient in some human calcium supplements.
