Which type of medication is used to neutralize stomach acid?

  1. Anti-neoplastics

  2. Skeletal muscle relaxants

  3. Anti-inflammatories

  4. Antacids

The correct answer is: Antacids

Antacids are used specifically to neutralize stomach acid. Anti-neoplastics and anti-inflammatories are used to treat and prevent the growth of cancer and reduce inflammation, respectively. Skeletal muscle relaxants are used to relieve muscle tension and pain. Therefore, these options are not correct for treating stomach acid.
