What are drug agents called that neutralize the hydrochloric acid in the stomach?

Antifungals
Antacids
Antipyretics
Antihistamines

The correct answer is: Antacids

Antacids are drugs that neutralize stomach acid and are commonly used to relieve symptoms of acid reflux, heartburn, and indigestion. Antifungals, antipyretics, and antihistamines are all types of medications, but they do not have the specific function of neutralizing stomach acid. Correctly identifying the types of drug agents and their functions can help to determine the appropriate medication for a specific ailment.
