> Any medication you ingest is "systemic" ( i.e. circulating throughout your body) You ask a very important question, because many people believe that taking AD's, etc. only effect the brain...but as we all know, the myriad of side-effects remind us that these meds effect our bodies as a whole.
Almost any medication -- antacids don't enter the bloodstream (I'm talking about Tums -- not Pepto-Bismol, which will convert to a slight amount of salicylate in the blood, or Zantac and other H2 drugs.) Well I suppose Tums will raise your level of Calcium but its not significant.But yes, basically anything you put in your body.
