Vedclass · Answer

(A) Antacids are substances that neutralize excess stomach acid. $Cimetidine$ (Tegamet) and $Ranitidine$ (Zantac) are well-known antacids that work by preventing the interaction of histamine with the receptors present in the stomach wall. $Histamine$ is a chemical messenger that stimulates the secretion of pepsin and hydrochloric acid in the stomach,but it is not an antacid itself. Therefore,$Histamine$ is the correct answer.
